**Use case:** [[RSS ]]sessions, conferences, BCH Teaching Academy sessions, other live sessions.
**Description:** When a LIVE course/session is set up for texting attendance, attendees are provided a session code at the event, and a phone number to the code to. When the code is sent to the number, the system looks up the associated user in the database. If there is no associated user, or if there are duplicate users with the same phone number, the system will send an error message to the attendee. For valid phone numbers, the system the profession in the user's profile against the credits that have been set up for the course/session. If there is a mismatch, there system will send an error to the attendee. Any available credit type and amount that matches the attendee profile will be added to the attendee's transcript.
**Note:** The attendance texting system is independent of LearnDash course enrollment. The course will not show up in the attendees course list because texting does not technically enroll the attendee in the course, it only communicates attendance to the transcript.
