SMS text notifications and invites

If a connected parent or family member wants to receive SMS notifications about updates in their child's journal, SMS notifications can be turned on for customers with UK, US territory, and Canadian cell phone numbers.

Seesaw does not support SMS notifications outside of the UK and Canada. 

Please note: if a family member has push notifications turned on, Seesaw does not also send them SMS notifications. 

Uses of SMS in Seesaw

  • Family invites can be sent via SMS. Families still need an email address to sign up for Seesaw.
  • If a family member has enabled SMS notifications, they will receive 1 daily digest SMS per day if there are any posts or comments in the journal.
  • If a family member has enabled SMS notifications, they will receive 1 SMS for every message received. The SMS for Messages does not include the content of the message, so they will still need to check Seesaw for the message.
