Dash Dolphin SMS Alerts for Forms

Yes. A Dash Dolphin account is required for the plugin to send any alerts. Sign up at dashdolphin.com or see pricing first. The plugin transmits no data until you save an API key in the License screen.

Every WordPress form plugin that sends admin notification emails. Confirmed integrations include Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, WPForms, Elementor, Fluent Forms, Forminator, Ninja Forms, Formidable Forms, and WooCommerce. CRMs, externally hosted forms, and custom-developed forms also work as long as the admin notification email can BCC an address. See the full list of 29 supported integrations. If you use something different and want it confirmed, contact support.

No. Dash Dolphin does not edit your form fields, validation, styling, or behavior. It receives a copy of admin notification emails via the BCC address you paste in. Your forms keep working exactly as before.

Under 10 seconds, typically 5 to 7. Dash Dolphin processes the submission, generates the smart summary, and dispatches the SMS through Twilio. Actual delivery depends on your carrier and the form plugin's email send latency.

Yes. Every plan supports connecting an unlimited number of forms of the same type (for example, multiple "Contact Us" forms across pages or sites). To connect different form types (for example, a "Contact Us" form and a "Job Application" form, or an "Event Registration" form), you need a Crew or Fleet plan. Each form gets its own connection address, so you can route them independently.

Yes. A single form can text any number of team members. Useful for sales teams, on-call rotations, or notifying both an owner and a dispatcher at the same time.

Yes. Each recipient on a connection can have their own schedule. For example, you can text your sales rep during business hours, text your dispatcher on nights and weekends, and text the owner anytime a submission scores as high-intent.

No. Until you save an API key, the plugin makes zero outbound requests to Dash Dolphin. Once an API key is configured, the only data transmitted is what arrives via the BCC connection address you paste into your form notifications.

Yes. Each site runs its own copy of the plugin and uses its own API key. Multiple sites and multiple form plugins can feed into one Dash Dolphin account.

Manage your API keys in your user profile at app.dashdolphin.com. Save the new key in your WordPress admin under Dash Dolphin > License. The plugin clears its cached account info automatically when the key changes.

Yes. WooCommerce order notifications wire up the same way as form notifications. Paste a connection address into the BCC of the WooCommerce new-order email and you'll get a text the moment an order comes in.
