I'm looking for a hook that fires whenever a new term is added to a custom taxonomy.

I tried set_object_terms and create_category but I can't get them to work it seems.

I need a hook that will fire whenever someone adds a term when creating a new Post.

create_category runs when a new category is created, in turn set_object_terms fires after a terms have been set to object.

The hooks you are looking for are:

• create_{$taxonomy} - new term in a specific taxonomy is created
• created_{$taxonomy} - new term created, term cache has been cleaned
• create_term
• created_term
