Once Connect has been enabled, Accushield automatically activates a Text Message Consent policy to start appearing on the kiosk for your chosen visitor types.
When someone from that visitor type signs-in - they will be asked to opt-in to your SMS program. They can accept the policy or deny the policy. If they accept, they will be added to your pool of potential message recipients. If you want to view this policy, you can click the green arrow under Policy Document.

With Connect enabled and the policy active, you will now start collecting users that you can send future messages to.
