OneRoster Mapping to 'sms' field

While playing around with OneRoster integration I'm having trouble getting a ‘SMS’ device to be sent over from Blackbaud (ie. number in blackbaud > integration via OneRoster > imported user/device).

I'm using the SKY Developer Cohort and assumed a phone type of ‘Wireless’ would map to ‘sms’ in OneRoster, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Does anyone know what field in a user record in Blackbaud maps to ‘sms’ field in OneRoster?

    Hi @Tim Harris, this is a bit of a unique one but the SMS number actually pulls from your notification settings in the app. If you select your name in the upper right, then settings > notifications, the number you have listed under “Text Number” will populate that SMS field in the OneRoster export.

    Thanks @Todd DeSchuiteneer!

    So it would seem as an admin user there's no way to setup a device in Blackbaud that would translate to an sms device via OneRoster for a user other than myself? Am I understanding that correctly?

    @Tim Harris yes that is correct. Because it is a messaging option and the user has to opt in to receive notifications, this number cannot be updated by the admin at this time.

    @Tim Harris
    So, the question of Wireless Phone vs. Notification Text number came up elsewhere too.
    I posted the question to the OneRoster channel.

    Go add your thoughts.
