I want to add an action whenever the admin publishes a product, but the WP hook publish_post does not trigger then - even though a wc product is just another type of post.

I haven't found a woocommerce hook that triggers when a product is published.

Any thoughts?

The action hook publish_post doesn't work for custom post types. You need to use the following format: publish_{$custom_post_type}

As you are using Woocommerce this post type is product so you want to use: publish_product.
