Managing CIP SMS Notifications
Learn how to enable and customize SMS notifications in CIP, including daily summaries and real-time flags.
What are SMS flag notifications?
SMS notifications notify you via text when Circadia generates a flag for a patient and/or shift summaries. These messages are sent to your mobile phone with a direct link to the flags/SBAR reports in CIP. You can choose how often you receive these messages, based on your workflow.

💡 Best Practice
We recommend most clinicians start with a daily summary aligned with their shift (e.g., 7 AM for the day shift). If you're part of the IDT or leadership team, you may prefer Just-In-Time notifications to stay on top of new activity.
