Attentive is a SMS marketing platform. If you want Fluent Forms submissions in Attentive, you could pay for a cloud automation service. Or you could do it directly from WordPress. This is the direct route.

Why not just use Zapier?

For connecting Fluent Forms to SMS marketing, a cloud automation service adds cost and a dependency on an external server. AFI runs on your site with no task limits.

What you will need

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

Setting up the integration
