How do family members receive SMS notifications

SMS notifications can be turned on for customers with US, US territory, and Canadian cell phone numbers. Seesaw does not support SMS notifications outside of the US and Canada. A connected parent or family member can receive SMS notifications about updates in their child's journal by following the below instructions.

💡 If you cannot receive SMS notifications, ensure you have enabled push notifications.
