Email invite; they enter their own number and consent. Open [Emergency contacts](https://app.wearabledocs.com/contacts). ## The sequence 1. You enter their **name**, their **relationship** to you, and their **email**, and choose how to reach them: **Text**, **Call**, or **Both**. There is no field for their phone number on your side. 2. We email them a link explaining who named them and what messages look like. 3. **They** open the link, enter their own mobile number, and tick the consent box. 4. They reply **YES** to one confirmation text from WearableDocs. Only after that are they confirmed for alerts. ## Why you do not type their number Only the person who owns the number can opt in. That is required for the text program and it stops wrong-number alerts. ## If the email does not arrive Check spam. On the contact’s row in [Emergency contacts](https://app.wearabledocs.com/contacts) you can copy the invite link and send it yourself, or use **Send again** while invites remain. ## Related - [Who gets alerted when my code is scanned?](https://wearabledocs.com/help/alerts/how-contacts-work) - [YES, STOP, and pending contacts](https://wearabledocs.com/help/alerts/stop-and-yes) Open in the app [Emergency contacts](https://app.wearabledocs.com/contacts)
