Let us discuss how you can integrate Elementor with Twilio and automatically send a personalized SMS to Elementor Form respondents via Twilio.
This automation requires a one-time setup, for which we will use Pabbly Connect.
We will first link Elementor with Pabbly Connect to capture the respondent details, then link Pabbly Connect with Twilio and send an SMS using the captured respondent data.

Step 2:- Establish a Connection between Elementor and Pabbly Connect
We will now look at the steps through which we will establish a link between Elementor and Pabbly Connect – This will help us to capture the Elementor Form responses.
A. Trigger App
Trigger allows us to choose the application that will receive the data for Pabbly Connect. In our case, it would be Elementor.
Choose ‘Elementor’ as the Trigger App, and select ‘New Form Submission’ as an Action Event.
B. Webhook URL
A new Webhook URL will get generated. You will use this Webhook URL to create a connection with your Elementor account. Copy the Webhook URL.
As soon as you Copy the Webhook URL, Pabbly Connect will start looking to capture data from Elementor, as indicated by the rotating Waiting For Webhook Response button.
C. Connect Elementor For WordPress Account
Go to your Elementor form, add ‘Webhook’ as an action, and paste the Webhook we copied earlier.
D. Test Connection
Make a form submission using dummy details, and check for the Received Response.
Switch back to Pabbly Connect, expand Response Received, and the data you entered must be visible, thus confirming our established connection.
We have established a link between Elementor and Pabbly Connect. Pabbly Connect will now automatically capture the responses upon each form submission.
Step 3:- Setup Twilio as the Action App to Send SMS
We essentially want to use the responses captured from Elementor Forms to send customized SMS through Twilio. Thus, Twilio will be our Action App.
A. Action App
Choose ‘Twilio’ as the Action App, select ‘Send SMS Message’ as an Action Event, and click on ‘Connect’.
B. Connect Twilio Account
To connect your Twilio account, select ‘Add New Connection’, and go to the Twilio account dashboard to find the Account SID and Authorization Token.
Copy both Account SID and Authorization Token
Paste them in their respective fields, and click on ‘Save’.
C. Compose an SMS
You can write a static message or include variables in your message by mapping the details from above. These variables will be dynamic and change as per the received responses.
Compose an SMS by mapping the details from the step above.
Copy your Twilio phone number from the Twilio dashboard, and paste it as Sender Number.
Map the Recipient Number from above, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.
The moment you click on Save & Send Test Request, an SMS will be sent to on recipient’s mobile number.
Our automation is complete. We have successfully integrated Elementor with Twilio. Each time a new user responds to your Elementor Form, they will automatically receive an SMS via Twilio confirming their submission.
