FAQ’s
  1. 1. What is this integration about?

    It shows how to connect **WPForms** (a WordPress form plugin) with **SMS Alert** so that form submissions can trigger **SMS notifications** (to you/admin) and optionally capture mobile numbers for follow-up.

  2. 2. What are the initial steps to set this up?

    1. In your WordPress site **install/activate WPForms** and then **create a form**.
    2. **Include a phone number field** in the form so the mobile number can be used for SMS.
    3. Then go to **Settings → SMS Alert** in your WPForms plugin (or SMS Alert plugin overlay) and configure the admin number and customer number selection.

  3. 3. What must I configure in the SMS Alert settings?

    According to the article:
    – Enter the **admin mobile number** under “Send Admin SMS To”.
    – **Select the phone field (smart tag)** from the form for the customer number.
    – **Save the settings**.

  4. 4. Are there any special requirements for the phone-field format?

    Yes — If you use WPForms Pro and the phone field type, **set the field’s “Format” to “International”** so that mobile numbers include country code properly.

  5. 5. Does this integration support both customer and admin SMS notifications?

    While the article primarily highlights the admin side (“Send Admin SMS”), the presence of selecting a customer phone field implies that it supports **SMS notifications to the user/customer** as well (or at least capturing their number for later use).

  6. 6. What happens if I don’t include a phone-number field in the form?

    Without a phone number field, the integration cannot identify which mobile number to send SMS to (or to capture user number). The **configuration may fail or the SMS may not reach the intended recipient**.

  7. 7. What should I check or prepare before going live with this integration?

    – Ensure **WPForms is properly installed and active**.
    – Ensure **SMS Alert plugin/credentials are set up** (account, sender ID, SMS credits).
    – Ensure the form includes a phone number field and that field is **selected in SMS Alert settings**.
    – Enter the correct **admin number**.
    – Save settings and **test** by submitting the form to check if SMS is triggered correctly.
    – Confirm the phone number format is correct (especially with country code).
