I want the Twilio add on to send an SMS notifiction to this number. The number changes with each new form submission.</p> <p>I can populate the message body with a merge code (e.g. {TargetSMSNum:6}). The number gets embedded perfectly. If I manually enter the To Number everything works as designed,</p> <p>However if I use the {TargetSMSNum:6} merge code in the To Number field, the message doesn't get sent. I expect because the merge code isn't working in the To Number field.</p> <p>Please will you tell me how to populate the To Number field with my dynamic {TargetSMSNum:6} data? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/can-the-to-number-be-conditional#post-101274 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 12:53:23 +0000 steve729 101274@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Can the following be done? Submitter of the form could select "sales" or "service" from a dropdown (or radio buttons).

I think it adds value to SMS clients a confirmation when they have placed and order or requested a quote etc and it just makes sense that we should be able to integrate this as a feature... why it has not been done yet leaves me baffled?</p> <p>So chaps, when will this happen? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/to-number-modification#post-69060 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 18:56:21 +0000 twescott 69060@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have a paid Twilio account, and so when setting up a Twilio alert via Gravity Forms + Twilio integration, I have a blank field where I can type in a mobile phone number of my choice.</p> <p>When an item is created in my Gravity form, Twilio then looks to that number and fires off an alert SMS. Great. This is out of the box functionality and it works very well.</p> <p>What I'd like to do is pass a user entered field from my Gravity form to this Twilio 'To Number' variable. For instance, in my form, I'll ask for a user's mobile phone number. That way the Twilio alert is sent to my user, and not to me, or to a static 'To Number'.</p> <p>There appears to be some precedent for this, as the Message area in the Twilio alert setup allows me to incorporate user entered fields into the SMS message that's sent out.</p> <p>To the best of my understanding, this is the relevant line of PHP:</p> <pre><code>else{ ?&gt; &lt;input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;gf_twilio_to&quot; value=&quot;&lt;?php echo esc_attr($config[&quot;meta&quot;][&quot;to&quot;]) ?&gt;&quot;&gt; &lt;?php }</code></pre> <p>This is the else component in a loop. The loop is looking at my Twilio account status. If it's a sandboxed account, the page will only show me verified numbers to send the alert to. Because I have a paid account, however, I'm forwarded to the else part of this loop, where I can type in a number of my choice.</p> <p>Unless I'm completely mistaken, I need to echo the value of my 'Email' variable from one of my Gravity forms. It may not be as easy as that, but, that's why I'm here. I don't know.</p> <p>Any help is appreciated. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/twilio-feed-not-importing-all-numbers#post-67849 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 09:18:20 +0000 lochuuho 67849@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I am currently using WordPress 3.4.1. and Gravity Forms Version 1.6.4.5.4. and the Twilio Add-on Version 1.0.</p> <p>I think that I have found a bug, where when you go to add a new Twilio feed, the plug-in form does not pull up and show all the Twilio numbers registered to the account...So what happened for me is that I have two Twilio numbers but only one is showing in the "From Number" field.</p> <p>Please look into this.</p> <p>Loc </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/more-sms-options#post-66749 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 21:08:09 +0000 twescott 66749@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm toying around with using Gravity + Twilio for line management in a hotel. </p> <p>A guest arrives to check in, and is standing in line. If the line is long enough, an employee will move through the line, taking basic information via my mobile-formatted Gravity form. Once I have their information, they can leave the line and go do something else. I'll use their information to call them back to the check in desk when it's their turn.</p> <p>An SMS is sent when the information is entered as a way to confirm to the guest that they are indeed on the list. This can all be done out of the box with Gravity + Twilio. No problem.</p> <p>Now I want to call them back to the checkin desk, though. I'd like to do this with an SMS as well. Rather than sending the SMS from my own phone, though, I'd like to do this through Twilio. Ideally, there'd be a button in my Gravity Entries page, that when clicked, would send a pre formatted SMS calling my guest back to the front desk for check in.</p> <p>Possible? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/twilio-sms-replies-to-sent-text#post-51391 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 02:38:20 +0000 tozhelp1 51391@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>As I understand Gravity forms is capable of creating posts by users. So users enter a title and description and it can be posted as a blog post. This can act as a form, so the action of filling out the form is the user "posting" and when they click "submit", Twilio sends an SMS to Admins. When is great.</p> <p>This is the question: Because what the user can be posted as a blog post, can the Admin reply to the Twilio SMS and the "Admin Reply" will be posted as a comment? Is this possible, I mean of course it is with coding. But is it difficult to implement and is there a coder that you would recommend that can do this? </p>
