Update form response 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 →Update form response
WriteChange the status or read state of a single Jetpack Forms response — mark as spam, trash, restore, or toggle read/unread.
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 modifies a single Jetpack Forms response identified by its required id. It can update the response's status to publish (restore), spam (mark as spam), or trash (soft delete), and independently set the is_unread flag to mark the response as read or unread. Internally it issues requests to Jetpack's feedback REST endpoints (/wp/v2/feedback/{id} and /wp/v2/feedback/{id}/read) and returns the merged result of whichever updates were requested.
