外掛說明
Frustrated with client feedback chaos, multiple staging environments, endless meetings that could have been an email, hundreds of Jira tickets and lost Slack discussions? Or with AI drafts that look finished until a false claim, off-brand sentence, or broken layout ships?
Jumplinks Flow was inspired by the GitHub pull request review experience with inline comments and approval or change requests workflow that developers love, brought natively into WordPress for content and site reviews. No SaaS subscription, no external tools, just a familiar, focused review experience your team will pick up from day one.
If your current process depends on long comment threads, scattered docs and email, or third-party review tools, Flow gives you a cleaner path without complex setup or heavyweight workflow tools. If AI or automation is writing the first draft, Flow is the human checkpoint between that draft and Publish.
⚙️ How it works
- You assign a reviewer to the content — automatically from settings, or by picking a WordPress user or an email address for people outside your site.
- The reviewer opens the review page and sends feedback via inline comments anchored to the content.
- The reviewer requests changes or approves.
- If changes are requested, repeat 2–3 until approval is received.
- You publish with confidence once the content is approved. Optional: show who reviewed it next to the author.
🎯 Best for
- Agencies and developers who present in-progress work to clients for feedback and signoff
- Editorial teams that need a clear draft-to-publish workflow
- Website owners that want structure without heavy workflow configuration
- Teams publishing AI-assisted posts, pages, or products who need a named human to verify facts, assets, and layout before go-live
✨ AI-generated content review
AI speeds up production. It does not take responsibility. Flow does not generate or detect AI content — it starts where your AI workflow ends: with a draft already in WordPress.
- Draft with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, n8n, Make, Zapier, the REST API, or any other tool, then save the result in WordPress.
- Assign a named reviewer automatically for new content, or pick a WordPress user or external email by hand.
- The reviewer inspects the rendered page — real theme, links, images, and layout — and pins comments to the exact sentence or media that needs a rewrite.
- Request changes, resolve threads, and resubmit until someone with a name attached approves.
- Optional: require approval before Publish, and show a “Reviewed by” credit on the live page after sign-off.
Use any writing assistant or automation you already have. Flow stays source-agnostic and keeps the approval decision in WordPress.
🤝 Human-in-the-loop for AI agents
When an AI agent is connected to your WordPress site (WordPress Agent Connector, MCP, or another connector that can call WordPress abilities), Flow is the gate between that agent and a human reviewer.
The AI agent can:
- Assign a WordPress reviewer or an external email, then send the draft for review.
- Learn that Publish is blocked when mandatory review is on and the post is not yet approved.
- After a person leaves inline or general comments and requests changes, read those comments — including the exact passage that was selected — and see what to fix.
- Edit the page with whatever builder tools that agent already uses.
- Mark addressed comments resolved and send the post back for another human look.
The person still owns approve and request-changes. Flow does not let the authoring agent approve its own work, and it does not rewrite Oxygen, Gutenberg, or Elementor trees itself. If the connected agent cannot edit the builder you use, it can still run the review workflow; someone else applies the copy edits.
💡 Why teams choose Flow
- GitHub-style workflow: Leave feedback exactly where it matters via inline comments so edits are clearer and faster.
- Review directly on rendered page: Reviewers don’t need access to the content editor; they review the rendered output.
- No WordPress account needed: Send a review to any email address and Flow mails that person a private magic link straight to the review page — no user account, no signup, no login.
- Automatic assignment: Choose a default reviewer in settings and Flow assigns them as soon as new supported content is created — including drafts from the REST API or an unattended automation.
- Named credit after approval: Optionally show “Reviewed by” on published content so the human who signed off is visible next to the author.
- Works with any editor: Dedicated integration with Gutenberg, Classic Editor, Elementor, Bricks Builder, Beaver Builder, Divi, Avada, Breakdance, and Oxygen Builder, but all editors are supported.
- Simple review and approval: Move content through practical statuses such as in review, changes requested, and approved. Mandatory mode can block Publish until that approval exists.
- Familiar Gutenberg-style review page: Dedicated review UI that feels native to WordPress.
- Fast team onboarding: Minimal setup and intuitive UI for writers, editors, and reviewers.
- Status-change notifications: Keep everyone aligned with timely workflow updates.
- Human-in-the-loop for agents: Connected AI agents can assign, send, read comments, and resubmit; only a person can approve, and mandatory review still blocks Publish.
- Lightweight by design: Built with native WordPress APIs and UI libraries.
🧩 Built for your content stack
- Editor support: Dedicated integration with Gutenberg, Classic Editor, Elementor, Bricks Builder, Beaver Builder, Divi, Avada, Breakdance, and Oxygen Builder workflows.
- Content type flexibility: Use Flow for posts, pages, products, and custom post types.
- WooCommerce friendly: Works smoothly with WooCommerce-based editorial setups.
🤖 What makes Flow different
Most feedback tools are paid-only SaaS subscriptions that charge per reviewer and require clients to sign up for separate accounts. Flow runs entirely inside your WordPress site, and lets you invite reviewers with a single link — no signup, no monthly fee, no third-party service collecting your content.
Editorial workflow plugins optimize for maximum configuration. Flow optimizes for feedback momentum. You get a clear approval process and contextual collaboration without overwhelming your team or clients with complexity.
If you want an editorial workflow that is modern, focused, and easy to use from day one, Flow is built for you.
🚀 Pro features
Flow Pro extends the free workflow with the following additions:
👥 Multiple reviewers
Assign any number of reviewers per post and set a minimum approval count. Each vote (approved / changes requested / pending) is tracked independently.
🔗 Open to public
Free covers one external email reviewer per post; Pro removes the limit. Add as many external email addresses as you need to a post review or a site review, and each recipient gets their own signed magic link that drops them straight into the review with their identity bound to that link.
🌐 Site-wide review
Request a site review with one or many reviewers — logged-in users, external email invitees, or both. Reviewers land in a review mode overlaying your site, can navigate freely, and leave anchored comments on any page.
💬 Improved comments
A TipTap-powered editor brings bold, italics, headings, lists, links, quotes, and code blocks to every review comment. Type @ to mention any reviewer, the author, or external invitees.
🔌 Webhooks for n8n, Zapier and Make
Send review events to any automation tool. When a human approves or requests changes, Flow posts a signed JSON payload so your pipeline can carry on: publish the post, or hand the reviewer’s comments back to your writing agent, fix them, and resubmit for another human look. Payloads include the exact passage each inline comment points at, pre-formatted for a prompt. Deliveries are queued and retried with a full log, so a brief outage at your end does not lose an approval.
🔔 Slack integration
Connect a Slack bot once and Flow DMs reviewers when they’re assigned, mentioned, approved, asked for changes, or invited to a site review. Member IDs auto-resolve by email; users can override per-event opt-ins from their profile.
📱 Device selector
A device switcher in the review bar lets reviewers toggle between desktop, tablet, and mobile widths without leaving the page.
📊 Activity tracking
An activity bar on the review page tracks every status change — pending review, in review, changes requested — along with the user who triggered each event.
Development
Where is the JavaScript and CSS source?
Human-editable source for the compiled assets in build/ lives in the src/ directory. Files under build/ are generated by webpack; edit src/ instead of hand-editing build/.
How do I rebuild the compiled assets?
From the plugin directory, with a supported Node.js release:
- Run
npm installornpm cito install dependencies. - Run
npm run buildto regenerate webpack output.
Third-party JavaScript
Packages such as @wordpress/scripts and @wordpress/icons are declared in package.json. After npm install, see each package under node_modules/ for license text, or refer to the upstream WordPress repositories.
External services
This plugin loads avatar images from Gravatar (operated by Automattic), which is a third-party service.
- What is sent: an MD5 hash of the user’s email address, generated by WordPress core via
get_avatar_url(). No raw email address leaves the site. - When: whenever the plugin renders a comment author avatar (review page comment cards, inline comment threads) or a reviewer/requester avatar (REST responses for the review sidebar and the Elementor, Bricks, Beaver Builder, Divi, Avada, Breakdance, and Oxygen Builder drawers).
- Why: to display each commenter’s avatar next to their comment, matching the rest of the WordPress avatar experience.
- Service URL: https://gravatar.com/
- Terms: https://automattic.com/terms/
- Privacy: https://automattic.com/privacy/
This is the same Gravatar integration that ships with WordPress core; the plugin does not contact any other external services.

常見問題集
-
How does the review workflow work?
-
Assign a reviewer (or let Flow assign one automatically), collect feedback via inline comments, request changes or approve, and publish when approved.
-
What does the reviewer see?
-
The actual page exactly as visitors will see it — Flow renders the content through your theme on the frontend. Inline comments anchor to the rendered output, so reviewers catch layout, spacing, and typography issues that the editor view hides. Reviewers also don’t need to access the editor to leave feedback.
-
Can I send a review to someone who has no WordPress account?
-
Yes. In the reviewer field pick External Email, type the address, and send the review. Flow emails that person a signed magic link that opens the review page directly — they never create an account, register, or log in. From there they do everything a logged-in reviewer does: read the page as visitors see it, leave inline comments (Flow asks for their name the first time), and approve or request changes.
The link is signed and tied to that single email address, so it can’t be guessed, and it stops working as soon as you remove that reviewer or cancel the review. Free includes one external reviewer per post; Pro lets you invite several email addresses to the same post review or to a site-wide review.
-
Which editors are supported?
-
Flow is designed for Gutenberg, Classic Editor, Elementor, Bricks Builder, Beaver Builder, Divi, Avada, Breakdance, and Oxygen Builder publishing workflows.
-
I use a different editor. What do I do?
-
Flow ships with native integrations for Gutenberg, Classic Editor, Elementor, Bricks Builder, Beaver Builder, Divi, Avada, Breakdance, and Oxygen Builder. If you work in a different editor, you can still use Flow — just open the post in Gutenberg or Classic Editor (both included with WordPress) to request reviews, manage reviewers, and track status. Your existing editor stays untouched for the actual content work.
-
Does Flow support custom content types?
-
Yes. You can enable the review workflow for posts, pages, products, and custom post types from the settings screen. We cannot guarantee compatibility with all custom content types, but we are confident most cases are handled.
-
Does Flow send notifications?
-
Yes. Flow sends email notifications for key review lifecycle events, helping teams stay aligned on status changes. Slack integration is also included in the Pro version.
-
Is Flow compatible with WooCommerce?
-
Yes. Flow is compatible with WooCommerce-powered sites and content workflows.
-
Can I use Flow to review AI-generated content?
-
Yes. Flow is the human review layer around a WordPress draft, whether a person wrote it or an AI tool / automation created it. It does not generate text, detect whether AI was used, or automatically fact-check claims. Reviewers read the rendered page, comment in context, and either request changes or approve. Auto-assign can attach a reviewer the moment the post is created, and Mandatory review can block the initial Publish or Schedule action until that person signs off.
-
Can an AI agent use Flow?
-
Yes, if the agent is connected to WordPress through Agent Connector, MCP, or another client that can call WordPress abilities. The agent can assign a reviewer, send the post for review, read comments (including the selected text on inline notes), resolve threads it has addressed, and resubmit. It uses your existing builder or core tools to change the page. Flow does not generate the draft and does not edit the builder tree itself.
-
What is reserved for a human reviewer?
-
Approve, request changes, and the decision to publish. The authoring agent is not given those actions, so it cannot rubber-stamp its own draft. People still use the Flow review page to comment on the live layout and to sign off.
-
Can an AI agent publish without a person?
-
Not when Mandatory review is enabled. WordPress Publish and Schedule stay blocked until a human-approved review exists, even if the agent tries to publish through the REST API or a builder. With mandatory review off, Flow does not add that extra gate — turn it on under Settings Flow if agents should never ship unreviewed content.
-
Do I need a specific builder for the AI features?
-
No. Flow’s agent abilities work for any connected client. Editing the page still depends on the agent: block/core tools for Gutenberg, Oxygen tools for Oxygen and so on. If the agent cannot edit that builder, a person (or a different connected editor) applies the requested changes, then the agent can still resubmit.
-
Who should use Flow?
-
Flow is ideal for content and editorial teams that need a simple review and approval workflow in WordPress without the overhead of enterprise-style configuration — including teams that use AI or automations to produce first drafts and still want a named person to verify the live page. It also works well for freelance developers and agencies who want a structured way to share in-progress work with clients for feedback and approval, without sending screenshots or asking clients to navigate the WordPress admin.
-
Can I use Flow to showcase work to clients?
-
Yes. Add the client as a user with a reviewer-eligible role, assign them as the reviewer, and send them the review page link. They land on a focused page with the page or post preview, leave inline comments anchored to specific content, and approve or request changes — without ever needing to learn the WordPress editor. If you’d rather not create an account for them at all, assign their email address instead and Flow sends them a magic link into the same review page. In the PRO version you can invite several external email reviewers at once or send the entire site for review!
-
Do I need an external account to us Flow?
-
No, Flow is a tool dedicated for WordPress and it just needs access to the admin dashboard. No SaaS subscription, no external tools.

變更記錄
2.4.3
- New (Pro): Webhooks for n8n, Zapier, Make, and any other HTTP endpoint. Flow posts a signed JSON payload when a review is sent, approved, or sent back for changes, so an automated pipeline can pick up where the human left off — publish once it is approved, or hand the reviewer’s comments to your writing agent, apply them, and resubmit for another human look. Each payload carries the exact passage every inline comment points at, already formatted for a prompt. Deliveries are queued and retried with a full delivery log, so a short outage at your end never loses an approval.
- New: AI agent capabilities for WordPress Agent Connector and other MCP clients. Connected agents can assign a reviewer, send content for review, read inline and general comments (including the selected text to change), resolve threads, and resubmit after they edit the page with the site’s builder. Flow stays the human-in-the-loop gate: agents cannot approve their own work, and mandatory review still blocks Publish until a person approves.
- Improvement: Copy an external reviewer’s magic link. Once a post has been sent for review, a copy icon appears beside the external email reviewer so you can pass the link on yourself — over chat, or to someone whose spam filter swallowed the invitation. Only people who can edit the post can see it.
2.4.2
- New: Optional “Reviewed by” credit on published content. Turn it on under Settings Flow; after approval it appears below the author and category line, with WordPress reviewer names linked to their author archives. External email reviewers are omitted.
- New: Automatic reviewer assignment. Pick any WordPress user — including yourself, regardless of Review Roles — and Flow assigns them when new supported content is created.
2.4.1
- New: Add external emails as reviewers. Pick External Email in the reviewer field and Flow emails that person a signed magic link to the review page, where they can comment, approve, or request changes without a WordPress account. Available in every editor integration.
- Fix: Oxygen container design fix.
