• Email: Receive Aura messages at your registered email address. Perfect for longer, less urgent communications.
• SMS: Get text messages to your verified phone number. Requires phone verification and may have usage limits on free plans.
• WhatsApp: Receive messages via WhatsApp. Requires linking your WhatsApp account.

To configure channels:

2. Toggle each channel on or off
3. For SMS, click Verify Phone and enter the code sent to your number

Understanding Your Limits

The Limits tab shows your current usage against your plan's allowances:

• Active Auras: How many Auras you currently have enabled vs. your maximum
• Monthly Messages: Messages sent this billing period vs. your limit
• Behavior Rules: Active rules across all Auras vs. your maximum
• Senses per Aura: Connected services per Aura vs. allowed

Usage resets at the start of each billing period (monthly). If you're approaching limits, consider upgrading your plan for higher allowances.
