Descripción
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.
Works with the forms you already use

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.
- Endpoint: https://jsvbijuodbkquylaoqba.supabase.co
- Service provider: Dash Dolphin, operated by Caboodle Media
- Terms of service: https://dashdolphin.com/terms
- Privacy policy: https://dashdolphin.com/privacy-policy/
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.
For full details, see the Dash Dolphin privacy policy at https://dashdolphin.com/privacy-policy/.

Preguntas frecuentes
-
Do I need a Dash Dolphin account?
-
Yes. A Dash Dolphin account is required for the plugin to send any alerts. Sign up at dashdolphin.com or see pricing first. The plugin transmits no data until you save an API key in the License screen.
-
Which forms are supported?
-
Every WordPress form plugin that sends admin notification emails. Confirmed integrations include Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, WPForms, Elementor, Fluent Forms, Forminator, Ninja Forms, Formidable Forms, and WooCommerce. CRMs, externally hosted forms, and custom-developed forms also work as long as the admin notification email can BCC an address. See the full list of 29 supported integrations. If you use something different and want it confirmed, contact support.
-
Will this modify my forms?
-
No. Dash Dolphin does not edit your form fields, validation, styling, or behavior. It receives a copy of admin notification emails via the BCC address you paste in. Your forms keep working exactly as before.
-
How fast are the SMS alerts?
-
Under 10 seconds, typically 5 to 7. Dash Dolphin processes the submission, generates the smart summary, and dispatches the SMS through Twilio. Actual delivery depends on your carrier and the form plugin’s email send latency.
-
Can I connect more than one form?
-
Yes. Every plan supports connecting an unlimited number of forms of the same type (for example, multiple “Contact Us” forms across pages or sites). To connect different form types (for example, a “Contact Us” form and a “Job Application” form, or an “Event Registration” form), you need a Crew or Fleet plan. Each form gets its own connection address, so you can route them independently.
-
Can one form text multiple people?
-
Yes. A single form can text any number of team members. Useful for sales teams, on-call rotations, or notifying both an owner and a dispatcher at the same time.
-
Can one form text different people at different times?
-
Yes. Each recipient on a connection can have their own schedule. For example, you can text your sales rep during business hours, text your dispatcher on nights and weekends, and text the owner anytime a submission scores as high-intent.
-
Does the plugin send any data before I configure it?
-
No. Until you save an API key, the plugin makes zero outbound requests to Dash Dolphin. Once an API key is configured, the only data transmitted is what arrives via the BCC connection address you paste into your form notifications.
-
Can I connect multiple WordPress sites?
-
Yes. Each site runs its own copy of the plugin and uses its own API key. Multiple sites and multiple form plugins can feed into one Dash Dolphin account.
-
How do I rotate or revoke my API key?
-
Manage your API keys in your user profile at app.dashdolphin.com. Save the new key in your WordPress admin under Dash Dolphin > License. The plugin clears its cached account info automatically when the key changes.
-
Does Dash Dolphin work with WooCommerce?
-
Yes. WooCommerce order notifications wire up the same way as form notifications. Paste a connection address into the BCC of the WooCommerce new-order email and you’ll get a text the moment an order comes in.
