How to Send WPForms Submissions to SlickText

SlickText is a SMS marketing platform. WPForms lets you build forms in minutes, but sending submissions to external platforms needs an integration. AFI bridges that gap to SlickText. Here is the full setup.

Why connect directly?

Cloud automation tools like Zapier charge per task and route your data through external servers. AFI processes everything on your WordPress site. No per-submission fees, no external dependencies.

What you will need

• A WordPress site with WPForms installed and at least one form.
• A SlickText account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect SlickText to AFI

1. Log in to your SlickText account.
2. Go to Settings → API and copy your API Key.
3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → SlickText.
4. Paste the API Key and click Save Changes.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it WPForms to SlickText.

2. Pick your trigger

Select WPForms as the form provider and choose the form you want to connect. AFI detects the fields automatically.

3. Select SlickText as the destination

Choose SlickText from the platform dropdown and pick Add Subscriber. This opts in a contact to a SlickText textword list.

4. Map fields

Match each SlickText field on the left to the corresponding WPForms field on the right. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}} and {{utm_source}}.

5. Add conditions if needed

Only want to send certain submissions? Set up a conditional rule based on any form field value.

6. Save and test

Click Save Integration. Fill out your WPForms form and submit. Check SlickText to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.

Free vs Pro

The free version maps phone number (E.164 format) to SlickText with unlimited submissions. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-submission fees on any plan.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need coding skills?

No. Everything is configured through a visual interface, including field mapping.

Will adding this slow down my form?

No. AFI sends data to the destination after the form submission completes. Your visitors see the normal confirmation message without any delay.

Can I connect multiple WPForms?

Yes. Create a separate integration for each form, or send one form to multiple platforms.
