Contact Form 7 SMS & WhatsApp Notifications
Turn every form submission into an instant confirmation. When someone fills in a Contact Form 7 form, SGC Connect messages them on SMS, WhatsApp, RCS or Voice and can include what they typed.
What the Contact Form 7 module does
The Contact Form 7 module sends a message each time a form is submitted successfully. The mobile number is taken from the first field whose name contains phone, mobile or tel, for example your-phone. Forms without such a field send nothing.
Inside the message you can use any submitted field with the {field:name} token, which makes confirmations feel personal without any code.
Contact Form 7 does not have a dedicated phone field type, so the plugin detects the number by field name. Name your field with phone, mobile or tel.
Placeholder tokens
Use these inside template variables to put live values in the message.
{form_title}{field:your-name}{field:your-field-name}Events you can notify
| Event | When it is sent |
|---|---|
| A form is submitted | Sent right after Contact Form 7 accepts the submission. |
Every event has its own switch, channel choice (SMS, WhatsApp, RCS, Voice, with fallback in the order ticked) and approved template.
How to set it up
- Make sure your form has a phone field, for example [tel* your-phone].
- Open the Contact Form 7 tab inside SGC Connect and turn on the form submitted event.
- Choose your channels and an approved template.
- Map template variables with tokens such as {field:your-name} and {form_title}, then save.
- Submit the form once and check the Message Log.
Good ways to use it
- Thank you or acknowledgement messages for enquiry forms.
- Callback and quote request confirmations with the visitor's own name in the message.
- WhatsApp confirmations with SMS fallback for visitors who are not on WhatsApp.
