How to Perform Operation When Any New Product is Created in Magento 2

Hello Magento Friends,

Today I am going to explain How to Perform Operation When Any New Product is Created in Magento 2.

New products keep on arriving while working with the eCommerce store. Magento offers 6 types of products that can be used to manage the catalog. Learn more about Magento 2 Product Types and Create your Custom Product Type in Magento 2.

When a user creates a new product, sometimes there is a requirement to perform any operation like assigning a category to the newly created product in Magento 2. To do this, you can follow the below-given steps.

Steps to Perform Operation When Any New Product is Created in Magento 2:

Step 1: First, we need to create an “events.xml” file inside our extension at the following path.

app\code\Vendor\Extension\adminhtml\etc\

Now, add the below code

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Event/etc/events.xsd">
    <event name="catalog_product_save_after">
        <observer name="product_save_after" instance="Vendor\Extension\Observer\Productsaveafter" />
    </event>
</config>

Step 2: After that, we need to create a “Productsaveafter .php” file inside the extension Model directory.

app\code\Vendor\Extension\Observer\

And then add the following code

<?php

namespace Vendor\Extension\Observer;

use Magento\Framework\Event\ObserverInterface;

class Productsaveafter implements ObserverInterface
{    
    public function execute(\Magento\Framework\Event\Observer $observer)
    {
        $_product = $observer->getProduct();
        if($_product->isObjectNew())
        {
                   // code for modification
        }            
    }   
}
