audience.png  Audience: Families

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.

How do I turn SMS notifications 'ON'?

Sign in to your Seesaw parent account at https://app.seesaw.me. 

  • Tap on your profile icon
  • Tap Account Settings.
  • In the Phone field, add your phone number (including area code!) without spaces.
    For example: 1238675309.
    Note: Canadian phone numbers will need to include +country code.
  • Toggle SMS notifications ON.

    ** SMS messages are not connected to the Seesaw app, so families without smartphones will still be able to receive notifications about updates in their child's journal **

    If you are still not receiving SMS after you've done this, please contact Seesaw Support and we will investigate your account.
