What This Workflow Does

This automation connects Mautic form submissions to instant SMS notifications. When a visitor submits a contact form, inquiry form, or lead capture form in Mautic, the workflow triggers immediately to send an SMS alert to your sales team or designated phone number.

Eliminates the delay between form submission and team response. For businesses generating leads through websites, this means contacting prospects while their interest is highest—often within minutes rather than hours later.

How It Works

1. Mautic Form Submission

The workflow monitors your specified Mautic forms for new submissions. It captures all form field data including contact information, inquiry details, and custom fields.

2. Data Processing

The workflow parses the form data, extracting key information like name, phone number, and specific form responses that might indicate lead quality or urgency.

3. SMS Trigger

Using your preferred SMS gateway (Twilio, Plivo, or other providers), the system composes and sends an immediate notification containing key details to your team's phones.
