With Lookback, the Participant will always initiate a session, including moderated sessions. Sometimes you may have your focus on something else and want to know when your participant is ready to start the session. Lookback can send you an SMS/Text message to alert you when a participant has arrived for their session.
These notifications are for moderated sessions only and are set at the project level. This means that when you enable SMS notifications for a project, you will be notified when any participant from any moderated (LiveShare or Interview) round in your project has arrived.
