Get Public Link is a WordPress ability from Ninja Forms — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.
Install Free Plugin →Get Public Link
WriteEnable or disable a form's public link and return its shareable URL.
Requires the Ninja Forms plugin on WordPress 6.9+ for the Abilities API (all 32 abilities are registered only when the wp_register_ability() function exists, via NF_Abilities_Integration::load_abilities_api() running on plugins_loaded). Every ability is gated by the same ninja_forms_ability_can_manage_forms() permission callback, requiring the caller to hold WordPress's manage_options capability or Ninja Forms' own nf_edit_forms capability.
What it does
This ability toggles whether a form can be accessed anonymously via a public link — independent of being embedded on any page — and generates the URL when enabling it, using Ninja Forms' pretty-URL format /ninja-forms/{slug} with a random 6-character slug (public_link_key). Despite its 'get' name it's a mutating operation: enabling for the first time generates and stores a new slug. An AI assistant should surface the resulting public_link back to the user clearly so they can share it directly, e.g. via email or social media.
