Install the Easy MCP AI WordPress plugin alongside CartFlows, connect your AI client, then ask in natural language — for example: "Move the old "Spring Sale" funnel to trash — but check with me first."

Trash funnel

Destructive

CartFlows Ecommerce cartflows/trash-flow

Move a CartFlows funnel and all its steps to the WordPress trash.

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 moves a funnel and all its steps into the WordPress trash, from which it can later be recovered with restore-flow. It is marked destructive in the plugin's own ability metadata, which includes an explicit instruction for the calling AI assistant to always confirm with the user before executing it, since it affects the funnel and every step inside it. Prefer this over any permanent-delete workflow.

"Move the old "Spring Sale" funnel to trash — but check with me first."

Inputs

Name	Type	Required	Description
id	integer	Yes	The funnel ID to trash.

Returns

An object with the funnel's id, the new status (trash), and a result message.

Permission

The current user must have the 'cartflows_manage_flows_steps' capability, and the 'cartflows_abilities_api_edit' site option (enabled by default) must not be disabled. The ability's meta also instructs the AI assistant to always confirm with the user before trashing a funnel, since it moves the funnel and all its steps to trash.
