When you use SMS messaging, Broadstripes notifies you when a worker or member replies to one of your texts. The app needs to know where to reach you, so you register a cell phone number to receive those notifications. This article shows you how to set up a notification number.
  1. Log in to Broadstripes. In the top-right navigation bar, click your user disc (the circle showing your initials or photo) to open the user menu, then select User settings. The user menu open, with User settings highlighted
  2. On your user settings page, find the SMS notification settings section. Enter your cell number in the Phone number for SMS notifications field, then click Confirm and save. Enter your number and click Confirm and save
  3. Broadstripes sends a text to that number to confirm it. Reply to the message with the word YES.
After you reply, the page updates and the button changes to Confirmed. The button turns green and reads Confirmed once your number is verified
The SMS notification settings section appears only when your organization is set up for texting. If you don’t see it, ask your project admin whether your organization has been verified for SMS messaging.
Now that your SMS notification number is confirmed, an admin can provision a virtual number for you so you can start texting.
