With the Twilio Add-On you can make text message notifications a part of your form notification process by integrating with the Twilio SMS service.
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page
Key Features
-
SMS Notifications: Send automated text messages to administrators, team members, or the person who filled out the form.
-
Conditional Logic: Only send an SMS if specific criteria are met (e.g., “If Budget > $5000”).
-
Merge Tag Support: Dynamically insert form data (like the user’s name or order total) directly into the text message.
-
Payment Integration: Delay the SMS until a payment is successfully processed via Stripe, PayPal, etc.
-
URL Shortening: Built-in integration with Bitly to shorten links within your messages to save character space.
-
Async Processing: Supports background processing so that sending the SMS doesn’t slow down the user’s form submission experience.

How It Works
The add-on uses a “Feed” system. You create a Twilio Feed for a specific form, where you define:
-
From Number: The Twilio number or Alphanumeric Sender ID.
-
To Number: A static number or a field from the form (using a merge tag like
{Phone:3}). -
Message: The content of the SMS (160-character segments apply based on Twilio’s standard pricing).
Prerequisites
To get this running, you will need:
-
A Twilio Account (with a purchased phone number).
-
A Bitly Access Token (optional, only if you want to use the URL shortening feature).
-
The Gravity Forms core plugin installed and active.
