Bulk update form responses is a WordPress ability from Jetpack — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.
Install Free Plugin →Bulk update form responses
WriteMark multiple Jetpack Forms responses as spam or restore them from spam in a single call.
Requires the Jetpack plugin on WordPress 6.9+. Abilities are registered by several bundled Jetpack packages (automattic/jetpack-backup, jetpack-connection, jetpack-forms, jetpack-stats) plus the main plugin's own registrars for Related Posts, Shortlinks, Sitemaps, Newsletter/Subscriptions, and Monitor. Permission requirements vary by ability — most gate on 'manage_options', 'jetpack_admin_page', or 'view_stats', while Forms abilities use 'edit_pages'. Backup abilities only register when a Backup product/plan is active; Sitemaps, Monitor, and Newsletter abilities only register when their respective module is turned on.
What it does
This ability applies a bulk action, either mark_as_spam or mark_as_not_spam, to a list of Jetpack Forms response IDs. Each response is processed individually by issuing a per-id status update (to spam or publish), so the result reports which ids succeeded and which failed, each failure carrying its own error code and message. After the per-id updates complete, it also teaches Akismet from the responses that successfully flipped status by calling Jetpack's bulk_actions REST endpoint, mirroring how the Jetpack dashboard performs bulk spam/not-spam actions.
