Website tip #5-13 (text message notification)

I like the new FormCreator feature, but I am not sure how to setup an automatic text message.

ANSWER:
It's actually quite simple.

Edit the form where you want to be notified via text message as well as email. At the end of the "Basic Form Data" area, you will see "SMS notification" and "wireless provider". Enter your mobile number (where the text message is to be sent) in the "SMS notification" field. Specify your provider in "wireless provider".

Click "update" when you are done.

That's it.

The text message is sent immediately so you should receive it only seconds after the form is submitted by your visitor.
