THE 5-MINUTE PROBLEM

Formidable Forms Plugin forms email you. That's why leads go cold.

Calling a new lead within 5 minutes is the difference between closing 9 out of 10 and closing 1 out of 100. Email makes 5 minutes nearly impossible. A text in 5 seconds makes it routine. The email is what your form sends now. The text is what we send instead.

Dash Dolphin

New inquiry. Sarah Chen, 1408 Oakridge Ln. Hot water heater burst, water on basement floor. Wants someone tonight, will pay extra for after-hours.

Tap to call: (501) 531-4982

We don't text the whole form. We summarize the request and send only the details your team needs to call back in 5 seconds.

HOW IT WORKS

From form submit to phone, in 5 seconds.

➡️

The path

Formidable Forms Plugin sends its notification email. Dash Dolphin reads it, parses the lead, and texts your team. No add-on, no plugin, no webhook.

⚡

The 5-second SLA

From form submit to phone vibration in 5 seconds, end to end. Not the full form — just the name, phone, address, and what they need so your team can call back fast.

🔌

The setup

One field. Paste your Dash Dolphin inbox into the Formidable Forms Plugin notification recipient. Save. Connected.

WHAT YOU GET

What comes with your Formidable Forms Plugin connection

📝

Smart summary

We pull the lead’s name, phone, address, and service need out of your form fields and put them on top of the text. The dispatcher reads it in 3 seconds.

👥

Multi-user

Route alerts to multiple team members at once. Owner, dispatcher, on-call tech, anyone you want notified.

📅

Scheduling

Set business hours per team member. After-hours leads still come in, just not as 3 AM text messages.

🎯

Text routing

Different forms can go to different people. Service request to dispatch, quote request to sales, callback request to the owner.

🛡️

Spam filter

We catch bot submissions before they hit your phone. Real leads through, junk filtered. Spam doesn’t count toward your monthly total.

🔍

Inquiry history

Every text alert is saved in your dashboard. Search by name, phone, or date. Nothing falls through the cracks.

“We were closing maybe 1 or 2 out of 100 form requests. Now we’re closing 9.5 out of 10.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Common questions

Yes. Formidable Forms has a Notifications section inside each form’s Settings where you configure where submission emails are sent. Add your Dash Dolphin inbox address as a recipient and you will get an SMS in 5 seconds with a smart summary of the new lead.
Dash Dolphin condenses the notification email into a short SMS summary, so even if your form has twenty fields, the SMS will highlight the most important details, such as name, phone, and service type. You are not getting a wall of text on your phone; you are getting the information that helps you respond quickly.
In the WordPress admin, go to Formidable, then Forms, and edit the form you want. Click the Settings tab, then Emails and Actions. You will see your existing notification email. Edit that notification to add your Dash Dolphin inbox address in the “Send to Email” field, or create a second notification that sends exclusively to Dash Dolphin.
No. Dash Dolphin has no connection to your WordPress installation and no access to the Formidable Forms entries database. Your stored data remains exactly as Formidable Forms manages it. Dash Dolphin only reads incoming notification emails.
Yes, the two features are completely independent. Formidable Views pull data from the entries database for display on your site. Dash Dolphin works from outbound notification emails. You can use both simultaneously without any conflict.
It works in your favor. If you set up conditional notifications in Formidable so that an email fires only when someone selects “Emergency Service,” Dash Dolphin will receive only those urgent notifications and SMS you immediately. For non-urgent submissions you can use a separate notification routing.
The 14-day free trial gives you full access. Add your Dash Dolphin inbox address to your Formidable form’s notification settings, run some test submissions, and check whether the SMS alerts arrive fast enough to make a difference. Cancel any time if it does not fit.
As long as Formidable sends a notification email for the quote calculator submission, Dash Dolphin will receive it and send you an SMS. If your quote calculator form is set to send a notification with the submitted values, the smart summary will pull those values into the SMS. Forms that only store data without sending a notification email will not trigger an SMS.

Your next customer is filling out your form right now.

The only question is whether you’ll know in 5 seconds, or 5 hours.
