Why Email-Only Form Backends Don’t Work for Trades
1. You’re Not Sitting in Front of a Computer
Most form services send enquiries to email. But as a tradesperson or emergency call-out, you’re usually driving, on-site, or mid-job. Inbox-only notifications mean delays and missed work.
2. Customers Don’t Wait Around
When someone’s locked out, has a leak, or a power cut, they call whoever replies first. If your competitors answer faster, they win the job — even if you were the best option.
3. WhatsApp Is Where You Actually Work
Most trades already use WhatsApp to speak with customers, send photos, and confirm bookings. Web2Phone simply closes the loop: your website form → WhatsApp → booked job.
How Web2Phone Works for Trades
Add Our Form Endpoint
Add a simple HTML form (or use your existing one) and point it to your Web2Phone form URL. Works with static sites, WordPress, Webflow, Django, anything.
Choose WhatsApp + Email Delivery
Set your WhatsApp number, email address, and allowed domains. Web2Phone handles spam protection, rate limiting, and GDPR-friendly data handling in the background.
Get Jobs Straight to Your Phone
Every time someone submits your form, you get an instant WhatsApp message with their details — plus a backup email — so you can reply in minutes, not hours.

FAQ for Trades & Emergency Services
Do my customers need WhatsApp?
No. Customers just fill out your website form as normal. Only you (and your team) need WhatsApp to receive notifications.
Can I still get email notifications?
Yes. Web2Phone sends both WhatsApp and email for every submission by default, so you always have a backup in your inbox.
Can my office team also get alerts?
Yes. You can configure notifications to go to a central email address while WhatsApp alerts go to the person on call.
Is this only for emergencies?
Not at all. It also works brilliantly for quotes, estimates, surveys, and booking requests. Anytime a customer submits a form, you’ll know about it instantly.
Can I try it on one form first?
Yes. Start with a single “Urgent Callout” or “Request a Callback” form on your site, test Web2Phone with the free plan, and scale up if it works for you.
