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 install or npm ci to install dependencies. Run npm run build to 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.
