Forms

Tally

Post Tally’s webhook to a Text Hook and every submission becomes a text.

What you can do

  • Post Tally’s webhook to a Text Hook and text each person who submits.
  • Start a follow-up sequence for each person that stops when they reply.
  • Text yourself each new submission.

How it connects

  • Recommended

    Text Hook

    A Text Hook is a BlueBot address the app posts its own webhook to. You map its fields to a recipient and a template, and each post becomes a text.

    Text Hook in the docs
  • Zapier

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