How do I use CartFlows's Publish funnel ability with AI?

Install the Easy MCP AI WordPress plugin alongside CartFlows, connect your AI client, then ask in natural language — for example: "Publish the funnel with ID 42 so it goes live."

Publish funnel is a WordPress ability from CartFlows — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.

Publish funnel

Write

CartFlows Ecommerce cartflows/publish-flow

Set a CartFlows funnel to published (active) status.

Requires the CartFlows plugin on WordPress 6.9+, since abilities only register when WordPress's Abilities API (wp_register_ability / WP_Ability) is available. Every ability additionally requires the current user to hold the 'cartflows_manage_flows_steps' capability. Flow and step lifecycle abilities (publish, unpublish, clone, trash, restore, update, reorder, clone-step, update-step-title) are further gated by the 'cartflows_abilities_api_edit' site option, while settings, checkout, thank-you, optin, email-report, product-mapping, creation, and template-import abilities are gated by the separate 'cartflows_abilities_api_write' option — both default to enabled but let site admins disable write access independently. WooCommerce must also be active for the analytics, checkout, thank-you, optin, and product-flow-mapping abilities, and for importing flow templates.

What it does

This ability sets a funnel's post status to publish, making it and all its steps visible to visitors. Use it to activate a funnel that has been built and is ready to go live, without needing to open the WordPress admin.
