# YES, STOP, and pending contacts

Confirmation YES, STOP opt-out, resend invites.

## Waiting for YES

After someone enters their number and consents on the web, they get one text asking them to reply **YES**. Until they do, the contact stays pending. A disconnected number that never replies is a quiet failure. That is why confirmation exists.

## STOP

If they reply **STOP**, they stop receiving alert texts. Remove or replace them on [Emergency contacts](https://app.wearabledocs.com/contacts) if you still need someone reachable.

## HELP

Replying **HELP** to the program number returns the short help text carriers require (what the program is, and how to reach support).

## Resending

While a contact is pending and invites remain, you can send the confirmation again from their row on [Emergency contacts](https://app.wearabledocs.com/contacts).
