- ImprovedPlugin updater.
What it does
Email notifications are easy to miss, and checking a dashboard for new entries takes time. This plugin adds a text message channel to Everest Forms, so a form submission can trigger an SMS to your phone, your team or the person who filled in the form. It suits appointment confirmations, booking requests, support inquiries and any case where someone needs to know about a submission right away.
Setup happens inside the Everest Forms dashboard, with no coding needed. You connect an SMS gateway, write a message template that can pull in form data through dynamic variables, and choose who receives it. Conditional triggers let you send texts only when certain answers are given, which keeps messages relevant. Since it works as an extension, you need Everest Forms installed for it to run.
Best for
- Appointment and booking based service businesses
- Support teams that need fast alerts on new requests
- Everest Forms users who want text notifications
