How to Send LearnDash Enrollments to Twilio

Twilio is a SMS and voice platform. Here is how to pipe LearnDash data straight into Twilio using Advanced Form Integration. The setup takes about five minutes and runs entirely on your own server.

Skip the automation middleman

Rather than routing data through a third-party cloud, AFI sends it directly from your WordPress server to SMS and voice. No task meter, no monthly bill.

What you will need

• A WordPress site with LearnDash installed and at least one course.
• A Twilio account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Twilio to AFI

1. Get your Twilio Account SID and Auth Token.
2. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Twilio.
3. Enter the SID and Token.
4. Click Save Changes.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it LearnDash to Twilio.

2. Pick your trigger

Select LearnDash as the form provider. AFI fires when a student enrolls in a course or completes a lesson, giving you access to student details, course information, and enrollment data.

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 LearnDash field on the right. Common mappings include student name, email, course title, and enrollment date. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.

5. Add conditions if needed

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

6. Save and test

Click Save Integration. Complete a test enrollment in LearnDash. 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 enrollments. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-enrollment fees on any plan.

Frequently asked questions

Which LearnDash events trigger the integration?

AFI fires when a student enrolls in a course or completes a lesson. This covers new enrollments, course completions, and student registrations.

Will adding this slow down my site?

No. AFI sends data to the destination after the enrollment event completes. Your students are not affected.

Can I send enrollments to multiple platforms?

Yes. Create a separate integration for each destination, and every enrollment flows to all of them simultaneously.
