Allow your users to text their votes for a Formidable poll or survey. SMS notifications are not yet included.

To setup text voting:

  1. Create your Formidable form
  2. Log into your Twilio account and go the the Numbers page
  3. Uncheck the “Voice” box if you do not want to accept phone calls.
  4. Change the SMS request URL to /index.php?plugin=frm_twilio&action=vote&form=5 (Change the 5 to the ID of your form)
  5. Text away.

Your users can either text the number position of the choice in your form, or the word itself.
For example, if I have a poll for favorite colors and my choices are Red, Green, Pink, and Blue, and my favorite color is pink then I can text any of the following: 3, Pink, pink, PINK. If the field is a data from entries field, only the ID of the linked entry will work. This vote will be applied to all fields in the form, so a text field might be good to add as a catch-all.
