With critical forms, sometimes email notifications just don’t quite cut it. While many people tend to disregard emails due to the daily barrage, text messages are almost always immediately reviewed. When a form submission needs to be promptly evaluated, text messages are often your best option.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The easiest way to send form notifications is to utilize the Twilio add-on for Gravity Forms<\/a>. Twilio is well-known for being the authority when it comes to sending automated text messages, and works incredibly well.<\/p>\n Twilio’s billing allows you to only pay for what you use, so the cost is usually quite low and is worth the small fees that occur per message.<\/p>\n Grab the Gravity Forms Twilio Add-On<\/a> and set up your text message notifications using Twilio<\/a>.<\/p>\n So you don’t want to pay per text message to use Twilio? We get it. Here’s another way to send text message notifications that won’t cost you a dime.<\/p>\n Did you know that almost all cell phone providers will relay emails sent to certain addresses directly to the subscriber via text message? Cool, eh?<\/p>\n Sending an email to a specially crafted email address will allow you many of the same results that sending a direct text message would get, and it’s still nearly instant. The only downside is that you’ll need to know the phone carrier of the person that you’re sending the text message notification to.<\/p>\nReady To Use Twilio?<\/h3>\n
