Setting up your Emergency Contacts
If you haven't purchased your SAYF device yet, Get one using the button below!
Before we go into the step-by-step tutorial to set up your circle with SAYF let's go over some terminology.
At SAYF there are two types of users:
Wearer
Someone who "wears" the SAYF device. These are the users who will be adding their loved ones to their circle. They are the ones pressing the button when they are in danger.
Watcher
Someone who "watches" out for emergency alerts. These are the users who are added to the "wearers" circle and they get notified when their loved ones are in danger.
A Watcher can also be a Wearer and a Wearer can also be a Watcher.
Meaning, if i have a device, i can also be the emergency contact of someone else, and if i am someone's emergency contact, i can also use the device.
Even if you never plan to purchase a SAYF device.
You should still download the app if you are someone's Watcher.
It is not MANDATORY for you to download the app as a watcher, but if you do you get some perks like keeping track of all the people you are a watcher for as well as having a more reliable way to be notified when one of your wearers sends an alert.
Alright let's get to the tutorial...
How to set up your circle in the SAYF app.
Step ONE
Navigate to the "Circle" section of the app via the bar at the bottom.
You will be taken to a page where you have two tabs at the top. "Watchers" and "Wearers".
Step TWO
You can't add a Wearer to your circle. (They are the ones that add you because THEY want you as their emergency contact)
Tap on the "Watchers" tab at the top to switch to the list of watchers that you have added. If you haven't added any, this list will be empty.
Tap on the red plus sign (+) that appears in the top right corner of the screen to start adding your Watchers (Emergency contacts)
Step THREE
Fill out the form with their information.
Please make sure this person is someone you trust!
After filling out the form, Tap on "Next"
The screen will change when the request has been sent.
Your Watcher should check either their email or their phone for the invitation... if they have the app they'd get a notification!!
Your Watcher can then accept your invitation.
And that's it...
