AI Ability since v2.0.0

# create\_chain

Create a webhook chain — Create a named chain that wires 2xx completions of one webhook to downstream webhooks.

Create a named chain that wires 2xx completions of one webhook to downstream webhooks. Registered as the WordPress Ability `flowsystems-webhook-actions/create_chain`, so external AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor) can call it over MCP or REST with a scoped API token.

/ Plan step shape

```
{ "ability": "create_chain", "input": { "name": …, "description": … } }
```

/ Scope & confirmation

Minimum API-token scope for external (MCP/REST) callers: `full`. Runs without a confirmation pause (the overall plan is still user-approved before execution starts).

/ Input fields

| Name | In | Type | Req | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| name | param | string | yes |  |
| description | param | string | — |  |

/ Examples

Plan step as the AI Builder proposes it

```
{
  "id": "step_1",
  "ability": "create_chain",
  "summary": "…",
  "input": {
    "name": "Order pipeline"
  }
}
```
