How to Send Everest Forms Submissions to Twilio
Twilio is a SMS and voice platform. Here is how to pipe Everest Forms submissions straight into Twilio using Advanced Form Integration. The setup takes about five minutes and runs entirely on your own server.
The direct approach
AFI delivers form data straight from WordPress to Twilio. No third-party cloud, no per-task fees, and every request is logged for troubleshooting.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with Everest Forms installed and at least one form.
- A Twilio account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Twilio to AFI
- Get your Twilio Account SID and Auth Token.
- In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Twilio.
- Enter the SID and Token.
- Click Save Changes.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Everest Forms to Twilio.
2. Pick your trigger
Select Everest Forms as the form provider and choose the form you want to connect. AFI detects the fields automatically.
3. Select Twilio as the destination
Choose Twilio from the platform dropdown and pick Send SMS. This sends an SMS via Twilio.
4. Map fields
Match each Twilio field on the left to the corresponding Everest Forms 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 Everest Forms form and submit. Check Twilio 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 to number and message body to Twilio with unlimited submissions. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-submission fees on any plan.
