Docs sections: [Get started](https://cotlet.dev/docs.md) · [REST API](https://cotlet.dev/docs/api.md) · [MCP](https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp.md) · [SDKs & CLI](https://cotlet.dev/docs/sdks.md) · [Integrations](https://cotlet.dev/docs/integrations.md)

Close a form now, on a date or after a number of submissions, or reopen it.

Formstack API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/formstack.md

`PUT https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/formstack/forms/{form_id}/availability`

Access: write. Confirm: waits for the user's OK before it runs.

Sets the Disable Form setting in the form's General Settings. The disable value is now, on_date, after_submissions or never. Now moves the form to the Archived Forms folder. The other two keep the form in its folder with a red badge next to its name. Visitors see the default closed message or the one you pass. Never reopens an expired form; an archived form is restored from the Archived Forms folder in Formstack. Save and Resume does not work while the form is closed. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `form_id` | string | yes | Form ID from list_forms. |
| `disable` | string | yes | now, on_date, after_submissions or never. |
| `on_date` | string | no | Date and time to close, ISO 8601. Used with on_date. |
| `after_submissions` | integer | no | Close after this many submissions. Used with after_submissions. |
| `message` | string | no | Text visitors see when the form is closed. Default: the Formstack message. |

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
