Who receives messages

Only Circle R Ranch employees and event staff who have a staff portal account and who choose to opt in. No one is enrolled by management or by anyone else on their behalf, and the messages are not marketing.

How employees opt in

1. Sign in to the Circle R Ranch staff portal with your name and PIN.
2. Open Notification Settings (reachable from your Profile).
3. Enter your mobile phone number.
4. Tick the SMS consent box. It is unchecked by default and is never required to use the portal.
5. Save. You can turn text messages off again in the same place at any time.
