How to Send Groundhogg Data to EZ Texting
EZ Texting is a SMS marketing platform. Every Groundhogg contact record should flow into EZ Texting automatically. This guide shows how to set that up in five minutes.
The direct approach
AFI delivers contact data straight from WordPress to EZ Texting. No third-party cloud, no per-task fees, and every request is logged for troubleshooting.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with Groundhogg installed and configured.
- A EZ Texting account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect EZ Texting to AFI
EZ Texting uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → EZ Texting, click Authorize and grant access. This is a one-time step.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Groundhogg to EZ Texting.
2. Pick your trigger
Select Groundhogg as the form provider. AFI fires when a contact submits a form or a tag is applied, giving you access to contact name, email, phone, tags, and custom field values.
3. Select EZ Texting as the destination
Choose EZ Texting from the platform dropdown and pick Add Contact. This adds a contact to EZ Texting.
4. Map fields
Match each EZ Texting field on the left to the corresponding Groundhogg field on the right. Common mappings include contact name, email, phone, tags, and custom field values. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.
5. Add conditions if needed
Only want to send certain records? Set up a conditional rule based on any field value.
6. Save and test
Click Save Integration. Trigger a test event in Groundhogg. Check EZ Texting 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 and name to EZ Texting with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-record fees on any plan.
