Get Submission Fields 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 Submission Fields
Read-onlyRetrieve just the field values (optionally with labels and types) for a submission.
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 returns a submission's field values, and — when include_labels is set — pairs each value with the field's key, label, and type, which is useful for presenting the submission to a user in a readable way rather than as raw field IDs.

You ask your AI assistant
"Get the field values for submission 305, with labels so I can read them clearly."

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|

Returns
An object with a 'success' boolean, the 'submission_id', 'form_id', a 'count', a 'fields' object or array, and a 'message'.
Permission
The current user must have WordPress's 'manage_options' capability or Ninja Forms' own 'nf_edit_forms' capability (checked via the shared ninja_forms_ability_can_manage_forms() permission callback).
