Applying A Custom Cover Automatically - With Action Chainsd

Hello!

I am looking for a way to add custom covers to my news collections generated by the fetch news feature in Calibre. I have looked through this forum and am aware that I am not the first person to try to do such a things, however I haven't found a solution as of yet.

Having found this plugin it alters and creates a cover in the way I like, however I have not found a way to active this plugin without the use of user interface and user interactions.

What I would like to do is this:

1. A new epub is create by Calibre, the Actions Chains Plugin (for example) detects the change in the library

2. Actions Chains calls the Generate Covers Plugin to apply a cover onto the new epub via a pre defined style profile in Generate Covers

I unfortunately am very much a beginner when it comes to code, but I do believe there is a way to automate this process with the use of Python. Action Chains can use python code directly, so my hope was to find the code used to apply the cover with Generate Covers to add it to an action chain.

Any and all help is appreciated.
