FAQ’s
1. What does this integration allow me to do?
It enables you to integrate the Easy Registration Form plugin (or equivalent registration form plugin) with SMS Alert so that when a user registers via that form, SMS notifications (to the user, admin, or both) and/or mobile-number OTP verification can happen.
2. What are the prerequisites before setting it up?
– The SMS Alert plugin must be installed and configured in your WordPress site (with your SMS gateway credentials, sender ID, etc).
– You should have the Easy Registration Form plugin activated and a registration form created.
– The registration form must include a field for the mobile/phone number so that SMS can be sent.
– Optionally: If you want OTP verification, you must ensure phone number capture and proper settings for OTP in SMS Alert.3. How do I enable SMS notifications for the registration form submissions?
1. In WordPress, edit or create the Easy Registration Form with the mobile/phone field included.
2. In the SMS Alert plugin, go to the section for “Easy Registration” (or similar).
3. For Customer/User notification: Enable SMS for “When user registers via Easy Registration Form” (or equivalent trigger).
4. For Admin notification: Enable the corresponding admin template—enter the admin mobile number(s), enable the event “New user registration”, modify the SMS template.
5. Save the settings.4. How do I set up OTP verification for mobile numbers in the registration process?
1. In the SMS Alert plugin’s “Easy Registration Form” integration area: there will be an option to enable OTP for registration.
2. Enable this option.
3. Ensure the phone-field is properly captured and mapped in the form so SMS Alert can trigger OTP to it.
4. Test the form: after user enters a number and submits, OTP is sent; upon validation, registration completes.5. Can I customize the SMS message content using form fields or variables?
Yes — SMS Alert allows you to use variable tokens/placeholders in the SMS templates (for example: user name, phone number, registration ID). Using these tokens you can make the SMS personal and relevant. You should edit the template for both user notification and admin notification under the Easy Registration Form section.
6. What should I check if SMS notifications or OTP aren’t working?
Troubleshooting steps:
– Verify that SMS Alert plugin credentials (gateway API, sender ID, balance) are active and working.
– Confirm the Easy Registration Form is capturing the phone number field correctly and that the field type is correct (e.g., numeric/phone).
– In the SMS Alert settings: make sure the event triggers are enabled (e.g., “user registers”) and templates are saved.
– If OTP is used: make sure the OTP option is enabled in the integration section; check if the OTP is not blocked by configuration or number format.
– Ensure the phone number format is valid (including country code if required).
– Check if any caching/plugins are interfering with form submission or immediate triggering.
– Review SMS logs (if available) to see if send requests were attempted and what response the gateway returned.7. Are there any special considerations or limitations?
– The article may not list every custom event or field scenario — if your registration plugin/form has extra custom fields or multi-step logic, ensure compatibility with SMS Alert.
– If you’re operating in India (or other regulated region) ensure compliance with SMS regulations (DLT, sender ID registration, transactional vs promotional SMS, user consent).
– Be mindful of SMS cost — sending OTP for each registration may add up if volume is high. Choose which events get SMS.
– If you use caching, multi-site, or heavy customisation of the registration plugin, test thoroughly end-to-end (form submission → phone capture → SMS/OTP send → registration entry).
– Make sure your phone number field is uniquely identifiable – if there are multiple phone or numeric fields, you must ensure SMS Alert maps the correct one.
