Update a queued workflow run date

Use a queued-event ID and a MySQL-formatted UTC date. The helper validates the ID and returns false when the event cannot be loaded.

Developer note:

Add custom PHP in a small custom plugin or child theme, and test it on a staging site before production. This example requires ongoing maintenance when extension APIs change.

functions.php

<?php

/**
 * Update the due date for a queued AutomateWoo event.
 *
 * @param int    $event_id Event ID.
 * @param string $date_due Due date in Y-m-d H:i:s format.
 * @return bool
 */
function my_store_update_queued_event_date( $event_id, $date_due ) {
	$event = AutomateWoo\Queued_Event_Factory::get( absint( $event_id ) );

	if ( ! $event ) {
		return false;
	}

	$event->set_date_due( new AutomateWoo\DateTime( $date_due ) );
	$event->save();

	return true;
