What it does
Email notifications are easy to miss, and some form submissions need a faster reply. This plugin adds text messaging to Formidable Forms, so a new entry can trigger an SMS to the person who filled in the form, to your staff, or to both. Typical uses include submission confirmations, appointment reminders, customer service replies and internal alerts that tell your team a new lead or request has arrived.
Setup happens inside WordPress. You connect your Twilio account, then map form fields into your message so each text includes details such as the sender's name or the answers they gave. Messages can go to one number or several at once, and you can build automated follow-up texts based on submissions. Delivery status and detailed logs help you check what was sent and troubleshoot problems. Formidable Forms must be installed for the plugin to work.
Best for
- Businesses that take bookings or appointments through web forms
- Sites where staff need instant text alerts for new leads
- Formidable Forms users who want SMS confirmations for customers
Features
SMS on form submission
Connect your forms to Twilio so a text message is sent automatically whenever someone submits an entry through Formidable Forms.
Personalized message content
Insert dynamic form data into each message, so recipients get texts that reference their own name, answers or other submitted details.
Alerts for users and admins
Send SMS notifications to the person who filled in the form, to site administrators, or to both at the moment an entry comes in.
Multiple recipients
Deliver a notification to one phone number or several numbers at the same time, which suits team alerts and updates for multiple people.
Automated follow-up texts
Set up sequences of text messages triggered by form submissions to follow up with leads or remind customers about upcoming appointments.
Twilio's international reach
Messages go out through Twilio's worldwide SMS infrastructure, so you can reach recipients in other countries as well as locally.
Field mapping without code
Connect your Twilio account and map form fields to message content through a settings interface, with no coding required.
Delivery logs and error tracking
Track the delivery status of each message and review detailed logs to find and fix problems with sending.
Questions about Formidable Twilio
Do I need Formidable Forms to use this plugin?
Yes. The plugin is built as an add-on for Formidable Forms and relies on it to create the forms that trigger messages. You also need a Twilio account, which the plugin connects to for sending the SMS messages.
Can I include the visitor's form answers in the text message?
Yes. You can map form fields into your message so each text uses data from that specific submission, such as a name, appointment detail or other answer. This lets every recipient receive a message tailored to their entry.
Can one submission send texts to several people?
It can. Notifications can go to a single phone number or to multiple numbers at once. That works well when several team members need to know about a new entry, or when both the customer and an admin should be notified.
How do I know if a message was delivered?
The plugin tracks message delivery status and keeps detailed logs. You can review these to confirm that texts went out and to debug any messages that failed to send.
Is Formidable Twilio free?
