Name: Dash Dolphin SMS Alerts for Forms
Author: Caboodle Media

Dash Dolphin connects to every WordPress form, not just the major ones. Contact forms, lead-capture forms, WooCommerce order notifications, CRM forms, externally hosted forms, and custom-developed form solutions all wire up the same way. One plugin, one connection method, every form covered.

78% of customers hire the first business that responds, and most of them are filling out forms on your competitors’ sites too. With Dash Dolphin you get a text in seconds, with a smart inquiry summary that surfaces the lead’s name, intent, and contact info, not raw form fields.

How it works

You paste a connection address into the BCC field of your form’s existing admin notification email. That’s it. No new field mappings, no shortcodes, no rebuilding your forms. The plugin works alongside every major WordPress form plugin and every major hosted form builder. See the step-by-step setup walkthrough for your form plugin on the Dash Dolphin website, or use the Setup tab that’s bundled inside this plugin.

Why response speed matters

Service business leads do not wait. Independent research consistently shows that the business that responds first wins the job, and that response windows measured in minutes outperform response windows measured in hours by an order of magnitude. Dash Dolphin exists to close that gap for small service businesses that cannot watch an inbox all day. Read more about the response-time gap on the Dash Dolphin blog.

Built for service businesses

Dash Dolphin is built by Caboodle Media, a marketing studio that works exclusively with service businesses, home services pros, and contractors. The plugin reflects what works for that audience: fast SMS alerts that surface the lead’s intent, no customer-facing texting, no marketing-message clutter, and pricing that scales with how many forms you actually use. See pricing and plans for details.

Plugin scope

This plugin is intentionally focused. It connects WordPress forms to Dash Dolphin. It does not embed the dashboard, run billing inside WordPress, modify your forms, or send marketing messages. Manage your inquiries, billing, and team in the Dash Dolphin web dashboard at app.dashdolphin.com.

Requirements

A Dash Dolphin account is required. Sign up at dashdolphin.com or see pricing first.

External services

This plugin connects to the following external services. Each request is described, along with what triggers it and what data is sent.

Dash Dolphin API (Supabase backend)

The plugin makes authenticated requests to the Dash Dolphin API to validate the API key you save in the License screen and to load your account summary, recent inquiries, and connection addresses for display inside WordPress. Requests are only made after you save an API key. Data sent: the API key you provided, and the IP address and user-agent of the WordPress server making the request. Data received: read-only account, inquiry, and connection metadata for display in the plugin admin UI.

Dash Dolphin asset hosting

The plugin loads step-by-step setup screenshots from a dedicated subdomain we own and operate on the same zone as the main Dash Dolphin website. Images are loaded on demand only when you open a setup walkthrough inside the plugin admin UI. No personal data is sent. Browsers cache the images for one year.

Privacy

This plugin transmits data to Dash Dolphin only after you have explicitly saved an API key in the plugin settings. Data transmitted is limited to form submission content that arrives at your BCC connection address, plus the API key requests described in the External services section above. No data is collected or transmitted before an API key is configured.
