Hi @tanz1r,

Thanks for the post.

Yes you can make use of the ‘new_post’ argument but please note that this is only available in the Pro version of the plugin.

I have tried this code on my end and it works:

function my_pre_save_post( $post_id ) {
	if ( $post_id !== 'new' ) {
		return $post_id;
    }
    $post = array(
        'post_status' => 'draft',
        'post_title' => $_POST['fields']['field_55068a7990cc3'],
        'post_type' => 'events'
    );  
    $post_id = wp_insert_post($post); 
    $_POST['return'] = add_query_arg( array('post_id' => $post_id), $_POST['return'] );    
    return $post_id;
}
add_filter('acf/pre_save_post' , 'my_pre_save_post' );
