Restore funnel from trash is a WordPress ability from CartFlows — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.
Install Free Plugin →Restore funnel from trash
WriteRestore a trashed CartFlows funnel and its steps to their previous 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 restores a previously trashed funnel and all of its steps back to their prior published or draft status, effectively undoing a trash-flow call. Use it whenever a funnel was trashed by mistake or needs to be brought back into service.
