Running an agency on Pressable: bulk actions, collaborators, ownership transfers and automation

Pressable's pricing gets cheaper per site as plans grow (about $5.60 per install at 100 sites), and the dashboard has the tools to match: change 50 sites at once, hand a site to a client, or trigger a Zap when a backup finishes.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Bulk Actions: update WordPress, plugins, themes, PHP, caches and settings across many sites at once.
  • Collaborators get per-site access; Tags group sites by client.
  • Ownership Transfers hand a site to a client's own Pressable account.
  • Reports, webhooks, an API and Zapier connect Pressable to your other tools.

Bulk Actions

Tools → Bulk Actions lists actions by category: updates (PHP, WordPress, plugins, themes), plugin and theme installs, caching (flush caches, Edge Cache, Defensive Mode, APM), environment, site lifecycle, backups and advanced settings. Pick the action, select sites, run.

Collaborators, tags and transfers

  • Collaborators can be added per site, with their own SFTP/SSH users.
  • Tags color-code sites by client or project.
  • Transfer Ownership (More Actions) hands a site to another Pressable account, ideal when a client takes over billing.

Reports, webhooks, API and Zapier

  • Reports: site listing, usage, collaborators, DNS records and performance (PDF or CSV).
  • Webhooks POST to your URL when something happens on a site.
  • API applications for your own integrations.
  • Zapier: triggers like "site created", "deploy succeeded or failed", "site flagged as hacked", "backup created", and actions like purging caches.
