How to enable or disable visitor arrival SMS notifications

For SMS notifications to work in eligible countries, each host needs a phone number on their account.

Before you start

1. Log in to MyJoan.
2. Go to Settings > Account and click Edit.
3. Check that a phone number is filled in for every user who will be a host.
4. In Device Settings, click Add field and select Host.
5. Tick Required on the Host field. If a visitor leaves Host empty, no SMS is sent.
