What it does
Email notifications are easy to miss, and many teams need to know right away when a lead, booking or request comes in. This add-on lets your forms send text messages through Twilio instead of relying on inbox alerts alone. You can notify staff about new submissions, confirm registrations, send thank-you texts to users or follow up with customers, all triggered automatically by the form itself.
The integration works inside your existing WPForms setup, so there is no separate tool to manage and no coding required to connect the two services. You write the message content, choose which phone numbers receive it and set conditions based on form fields or user inputs. A log of sent messages and delivery statuses helps you confirm texts went out and track down problems when something fails.
Best for
- Businesses that want instant text alerts for new leads
- Sites sending registration or booking confirmations by SMS
- Teams where several staff members need form notifications
Features
Automated SMS on submission
Text alerts go out automatically when a form is submitted, keeping your team and your users informed without anyone sending messages by hand.
Customizable message templates
Write your own SMS content so each text matches your brand voice and gives recipients clear, personalized information about their submission.
Multiple recipients
Send the same notification to several phone numbers at once, which is handy when a whole team needs to hear about new form entries.
Confirmation texts for users
Automatically send a confirmation or thank-you text to the person who filled out the form right after they complete it.
Conditional SMS triggers
Set text alerts to fire based on specific form fields or user inputs, so messages only go out when the submission meets your rules.
Message logging and delivery status
Review a record of every sent message along with its delivery status, making it easier to check results and troubleshoot failed texts.
No-code connection to Twilio
Link your existing WPForms forms to Twilio from within WPForms, without writing code or working directly with complicated APIs.
Questions about WPForms Twilio
Can I send texts to both my team and the person who filled out the form?
Yes. You can send notifications to multiple staff phone numbers at once, and you can also send confirmation or thank-you texts to users after they complete a form.
Can I control when a text message is sent?
Yes. Conditional SMS triggers let you base alerts on specific form fields or user inputs, so a text only goes out when a submission matches the conditions you set.
Do I need a Twilio account to use this?
