Prepare your account for the SMS notifications
For the SMS notification to work each employee needs to have their phone number entered
To do so, log in to office.getjoan.com and navigate to Settings -> Account -> click "Edit" and make sure that the phone number is filled in for the user that will be assigned as the host.
In order to receive the SMS notifications on the correct phone number, you will need to add the "Host" field in the Device Settings by clicking "Add field" and selecting "Host". Once the field is created, we recommend checking the "Required" box, as this ensures that every visitor fills this in. Otherwise, if a visitor does not fill in the Host field, you will not receive the SMS notification.

- Enable general notifications and tick the Visitor arrival SMS notifications box and hit Save.

Users may also disable this functionality on their own office.getjoan.com account by navigating to Settings -> Visitor -> selecting the notifications they wish to receive, if any at all.
