WPForms SMS & WhatsApp Notifications
Reply to every WPForms submission in seconds. SGC Connect reads the form's Phone field and sends your approved template on SMS, WhatsApp, RCS or Voice.
What the WPForms module does
The WPForms module fires when a form is submitted. The recipient is the value of the form's Phone field, so there is nothing to configure per form beyond adding that field.
Message variables can use any submitted field by its numeric field ID, shown in the WPForms builder.
If a form has no Phone field, nothing is sent for it.
Placeholder tokens
Use these inside template variables to put live values in the message.
{form_title}{field:1}Events you can notify
| Event | When it is sent |
|---|---|
| A form is submitted | Sent after WPForms processes the entry. |
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
- Add a Phone field to your WPForms form.
- Open the WPForms tab in SGC Connect and switch on the submit event.
- Pick channels and an approved template.
- Use {field:ID} with the field ID from the WPForms builder to fill template variables, then save.
- Submit a test entry and verify it in the Message Log.
Good ways to use it
- Lead capture forms that confirm receipt immediately.
- Registration and event signup forms with a WhatsApp confirmation.
- Order or booking request forms that send a reference number.
