Squarespace recipes

Text people who fill in a form on your Squarespace site.

Two recipes for Squarespace. Each names its trigger and the BlueBot step, lists the fields to map and says how to test it with your own number before anyone else gets a text.

How Squarespace connects

  • Zapier: BlueBot’s Zapier app has a Send Text action and instant triggers for incoming texts and every change of state.

Steps

  1. Connect the form to Zapier as one of its storage options in Squarespace.
  2. Start a Zap with Squarespace’s trigger for a new form submission.
  3. Add BlueBot’s Send Text action and map the phone field to To.

Map the fields

BlueBot fieldMap it to
ToThe person’s mobile number from Squarespace. US numbers can leave off the +1.
TextHi {{first_name}}, thanks for reaching out to Willow Photo. I’ll text you my open dates shortly.
{{first_name}} in the textSquarespace’s first name field.
Metadatasource set to squarespace, and record_id set to the record’s id, so the status and reply webhooks for this text can find the record again.
ServiceAuto, the default: iMessage when the person uses it, otherwise SMS through your iPhone.

Test it

Put your own number in To and press Test step. A text arrives on your phone from your own number, and Zapier shows the message BlueBot returned with state: "queued". Then map Squarespace’s field back into To and turn the Zap on.

Before you turn it on

  • Text only people who asked to hear from you. Anyone who replies STOP goes on your stop list, and BlueBot cancels texts to them. Stop words
  • A text that can’t go yet waits with a hold rather than failing: quiet hours, your Mac away, a daily limit. Holds
  • Squarespace with BlueBot on the integrations page says what else the two do together.
