Text Alerts

Workflows can text you when they need attention, with the Notify Via SMS step. A workflow can text you only after you opt in yourself.

  1. Open the user menu in the upper-right corner and choose Text alerts.
  2. Enter your US mobile number.
  3. Check I agree to receive PlaidCloud workflow text alerts at this number. Read the disclosures above it, and the SMS Terms and SMS Privacy Policy links.
  4. Click Send code. PlaidCloud texts a 6-digit code to your number.
  5. Enter the Confirmation code within 10 minutes and click Confirm.

The window then reads Text alerts are on for your masked number. Only US mobile numbers are supported. Message and data rates may apply, and message frequency varies.

Open Text alerts and click Stop text alerts, or reply STOP to any text. Reply HELP for help.

Replying STOP blocks every text to your number. Text START to the alert number shown in the window, then send a new code and confirm it.
