Hi @leuchterits

I believe you can do it by using the acf/save_post hook. But, instead of creating a post, you need to create a user using the wp_create_user() function and delete the newly created post using the wp_delete_post() function. Maybe something like this:

function my_acf_save_multiple_posts( $post_id ) {
    
    // get the user name field
    $first_name = get_field('first_name', $post_id);
    
    // get the user name field
    $last_name = get_field('last_name', $post_id);
    
    // create the user
    wp_create_user( $first_name . "_" . $last_name, 'random password here' );
    
    // delete the unused post
    wp_delete_post($post_id);
    
}

// run after ACF saves the $_POST['acf'] data
add_action('acf/save_post', 'my_acf_save_multiple_posts', 20);

I hope this makes sense 🙂
