Gravity Forms
+ Simple Texting

CONNECT GRAVITY FORMS DIRECTLY TO SIMPLETEXTING — FAST, NATIVE & RELIABLE

The Gravity Forms SimpleTexting Add-on creates an enterprise-grade, direct server-side bridge between your WordPress forms and the SimpleTexting messaging platform. Instead of relying on brittle webhooks or paying recurring per-task fees for third-party automation tools, this integration talks directly to SimpleTexting’s official REST API v2 to deliver high-priority SMS alerts and sync subscribers in real time.

Direct API Connection — Eliminate Expensive Middleware & Webhook Latency

Third-party automation services like Zapier or Make charge substantial recurring subscriptions that penalize high-volume lead generation. With the Gravity Forms SimpleTexting Add-on, your WordPress server dispatches API calls directly to SimpleTexting with zero middlemen. Enjoy sub-second message dispatch speeds, complete data privacy, and unlimited form submissions for a predictable, single flat investment.

Dual Operational Modules: Instant SMS Alerts & Contact List Synchronization

Every form can be tailored to meet your exact marketing and notification requirements using two specialized operating modes:

• Send SMS Module: Trigger instant, high-priority text alerts to customers (e.g., booking confirmations, verification codes, or order updates) or internal team members (e.g., urgent VIP lead notifications).
• Add / Update Contact Module: Automatically capture subscribers into your SimpleTexting audience. Map standard fields including First Name, Last Name, Email, Birthday, and Notes, and automatically assign contacts to one or more SimpleTexting lists.

Dynamic Custom Fields Mapping & Smart Tag Personalization

Unlock hyper-targeted SMS marketing by mapping any standard or custom Gravity Forms field directly into SimpleTexting custom attributes (such as Company Name, Budget Tier, Selected Services, or Lead Source). When crafting SMS text messages, use Gravity Forms dynamic merge tags like {First Name:1}, {Service:4}, or {Entry ID} to generate highly engaging, personalized messages that achieve 98% open rates.

Enterprise Compliance, Conditional Routing & Full Entry Auditing

Protect your brand reputation and ensure TCPA/CTIA regulatory compliance by pairing your SMS feeds with conditional logic. Only dispatch messages or enroll contacts when respondents explicitly check an SMS consent checkbox. Furthermore, every transmission logs an immutable entry note in Gravity Forms detailing the SimpleTexting Contact ID, Message ID, or API response status for complete auditing.

1. Secure API Handshake & Schema Discovery: When configured, the add-on connects securely to SimpleTexting using your Bearer API token, dynamically retrieving all available contact lists to populate your feed dropdowns.
2. Form Submission & Opt-in Evaluation: When a respondent submits a form, Gravity Forms evaluates conditional logic rules in memory, ensuring automated SMS and list subscriptions only occur when explicit user consent is verified.
3. Phone Normalization & E.164 Auto-Formatting: The add-on extracts the phone input, strips non-numeric characters, and automatically normalizes 10-digit North American numbers with the required +1 country code for flawless carrier delivery.
4. Contact Upsert & Custom Field Assembly: For contact feeds, subscriber profiles are created or updated in SimpleTexting with name, email, birthday (formatted as YYYY-MM-DD), notes, custom fields, and targeted list memberships.
5. Sub-Second SMS Dispatch & Entry Audit Logging: For SMS feeds, the message is dispatched via SINGLE_SMS_STRICTLY mode. A timestamped audit note containing the SimpleTexting Message ID or error code is automatically appended to the Gravity Forms entry.
