How to Send FormCraft Submissions to Twilio
Twilio is a SMS and voice platform. FormCraft is a versatile drag-and-drop form builder for WordPress. Twilio is where that data needs to go. Here is how to connect them without Zapier or code.
Why not just use Zapier?
For connecting FormCraft to SMS and voice, 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 FormCraft 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 FormCraft to Twilio.
2. Pick your trigger
Select FormCraft 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 FormCraft 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 FormCraft 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.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need coding skills?
No. Everything is configured through a visual interface, including field mapping.

No. AFI sends data to the destination after the form submission completes. Your visitors see the normal success message without any delay.
Can I connect multiple FormCraft forms?
Yes. Create a separate integration for each form, or send one form to multiple platforms.
