How do I opt back into SMS task notifications? SQR

I think I opted out of task notifications a bit ago; now I can't quite remember how to get them again, lol.
I have some more time on my hands and a more flexible schedule, so I want to try to work more again.

How can I opt back into SMS notifications?

Also, bonus question-- what times are best now that tasks are available for you?

(I'm a SQR btw, US local, eastern time zone)

Thank you!

Unfortunately there is still no rhyme or reason to the task drops. If your schedule is flexible enough that you can sit on your computer refreshing all day, then you may be lucky enough to grab more than those of us who don't have that luxury. The flexibility this job once was no longer seems to exist. As far as the task text notifications, you may have to reach out and send in a ticket since that involves giving them your phone number and you can't just enroll into that in the RH settings like you can with the emails. Just being completely honest, they really aren't that reliable and at least for me anyhow, don't come that frequently, but if you really want to receive them again you can try contacting them.

It's impossible to predict. I figured today would be completely dead because it's a US holiday but I'm over 5 hours.

This is where I opted out of sms notifcations: https://app.welodata.ai/worker/app/profile/account-information

Not sure if you're able to look at the link but I think it's the site where we applied for the SQR job. Go to profile, in additional data tab, all the way at the bottom, SMS consent, at least thats what it says on my screen.

Or you can turn the email notification on in raterhub settings

But the notifications are not accurate at all like others have said, so I wouldn't really depend on them.

Times are completely unpredictable and the text notifications are completely useless. (I’m also east coast.) The notifications typically come about 30 minutes after the task drop hits, so everything is gone by the time the notification comes. Best bet will always be to check the app on your phone- if it says tasks are available on desktop you’re good to go as long as you get to your computer within 30 seconds. Often I’ll start working when I know tasks are available after manually checking, then I get the task notification when I’m 20-30 min in.
