Custom HTML Forms SMS Notifications

Yes, as long as your custom form sends a notification email when someone submits. The form’s backend, whether PHP, a serverless function, or a third-party email service, just needs to send that notification to your Dash Dolphin inbox address, and you will get an SMS in 5 seconds with a summary of the submission.

In your form’s server-side script or email handler, update the “To” address of the notification email to your Dash Dolphin inbox address. If your form uses a service like SendGrid, Mailgun, or SMTP, the change is made in the email sending function. No changes to your HTML or frontend are needed.

Once your backend sends the notification email, Dash Dolphin delivers the SMS in 5 seconds. The only variable is how quickly your server or email service dispatches the outbound email. If you are using a reliable transactional email service the end-to-end time is typically under 15 seconds from form submit to SMS.

Dash Dolphin reads the notification email to generate the SMS summary and then the email is processed. It does not build a customer database or expose form data through any external interface. For compliance requirements specific to your business, review Dash Dolphin’s privacy policy directly.

Dash Dolphin parses the notification email body to extract key details and compose a short summary. Custom field names are handled based on their label text and content. If your notification email includes clear labels (for example “Service needed:” or “Customer phone:”), the summary will be accurate. Very minimal or unlabeled emails may produce a shorter summary.

Dash Dolphin works best with plain-text or lightly formatted HTML notification emails that list the field names and values. If your email template is heavily designed with minimal text content, the summary quality may be reduced. Running a test submission and checking the resulting SMS is the best way to confirm everything looks right before you go live.

Yes. Any system that sends a standard notification email on a form submission or lead event can feed Dash Dolphin. If your custom CRM sends an email to your inbox when a new job request arrives, routing that email to Dash Dolphin will get you an SMS in 5 seconds for each one.
