SMS NOTIFICATIONS

WordPress Contact Forms SMS Notifications

Forms email you. By the time you check, the lead is cold. Dash Dolphin texts your phone in 5 seconds.

THE 5-MINUTE PROBLEM

WordPress Contact Forms 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

WordPress Contact Forms 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 WordPress Contact Forms notification recipient. Save. Connected.

WHAT YOU GET

What comes with your WordPress Contact Forms 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. Self-hosted WordPress does not come with a contact form, so you add one through a plugin such as WPForms, Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, or Fluent Forms. Each of those plugins sends a notification email on submission. Forward that email to your Dash Dolphin inbox and you will get an SMS in 5 seconds.
In your WordPress admin dashboard, go to Plugins and look for an active plugin with “Form” in its name. Common ones include WPForms, Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, Fluent Forms, Ninja Forms, and Formidable Forms. Once you know which plugin you have, the setup is the same across all of them: find the notification email settings and add your Dash Dolphin inbox address.
Self-hosted WordPress (wordpress.org) gives you full control over plugins, so you can install and configure any form plugin. WordPress.com’s free and lower-paid plans have restricted plugin access, but WordPress.com sites have a built-in form through the Jetpack Form Block. The Jetpack Form Block sends email notifications to the site owner, which you can redirect to your Dash Dolphin inbox.
No plugin, script, or code is installed on your WordPress site. Dash Dolphin only reads the outgoing notification emails that your form plugin sends. Your WordPress installation is not modified in any way.
Yes. Each form plugin sends its own notification emails. You can add your Dash Dolphin inbox address to the notification settings of each plugin independently. You will then receive SMS alerts for submissions from all of those forms.
Yes, it can. WordPress uses wp_mail by default, which depends on your hosting server’s outbound email configuration. If notification emails do not arrive reliably, your Dash Dolphin SMS alerts will also be unreliable. Installing a free SMTP plugin such as WP Mail SMTP and connecting it to a mail service like Gmail, Mailgun, or SendGrid makes outbound notification emails consistently reliable.
Yes, a 14-day free trial is available. Most WordPress site owners have a form plugin already installed and sending notification emails, so setup typically takes a few minutes and you can start testing the SMS alerts the same day.
Your Dash Dolphin account stays the same, but you will need to configure notification emails in the new platform and point them to your Dash Dolphin inbox. The form plugin settings on your old WordPress site will no longer apply once you migrate. Each platform has its own way of setting notification email recipients, and the Dash Dolphin connection is just updating that recipient address.

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