If you're a parent, you’ve likely experienced the overwhelm of school emails, WhatsApp group messages, and circulars — all packed with dates, deadlines, and details that need tracking. Most of the time, these updates come when you're busy, distracted, or not near your calendar. You read them quickly, plan to come back later, and forget. Sound familiar?
Simplify was built to solve exactly that. Instead of toggling between apps, copying and pasting, or trying to remember if it was this Friday or next, you can forward that school email or message to Simplify — and let it take care of the rest.
Here’s how it works in under a minute.
Step 1: Find the Update
Open your email app, WhatsApp, or wherever the school has sent an update. This could be a newsletter, a forwarded image, a long list of announcements, or a note from the teacher.
Step 2: Forward It to Simplify on WhatsApp
Copy and paste the content, send a screenshot, or just forward the message directly to your Simplify chat. You don’t need to explain anything — just send the message as it is.
Step 3: Let Simplify Do the Work
Within seconds, Simplify will read the message, extract key details like:
It will then add the events to your calendar and set reminders.
Example 1: The Classic Newsletter
You receive a weekly school newsletter on Sunday. It mentions a field trip on Tuesday, a costume day on Thursday, and that library books are due Friday. Forward it to Simplify — it adds all three as separate reminders and calendar entries with helpful labels.
Example 2: WhatsApp Group Chaos
A parent shares a message in the school group about a bake sale. The message says “bake sale this Wednesday after pickup — bring nut-free treats”. You forward that message to Simplify. It extracts the event, confirms the date, and adds it to your planner with a reminder on Tuesday night to prep.
Example 3: Last-Minute Change
You get an email saying tomorrow’s sports day has been postponed. You forward that to Simplify. It removes the old calendar entry and updates it with the new date — all without you having to re-enter a thing.
You no longer have to hold a mental list of school tasks. Simplify remembers for you — and it’s always accessible on WhatsApp.
Because reminders are built directly into your daily chats, you're far less likely to overlook a school request or miss an important deadline.
If you’ve added your partner to Simplify, any event forwarded by either of you is shared automatically. No more asking “Did you see the email about the thing on Friday?”
Simplify can read school updates in your native language too. You can even send a voice note summarising what the school said if that’s quicker.
There’s no reason parents should need to juggle emails, paper diaries, and five different apps just to stay on top of school admin. The tools that work best are the ones we already use — and WhatsApp is the most universal, easy-to-access app on the planet.
Simplify doesn’t ask you to learn a new system. It meets you where you are. With one forwarded message, your scattered school updates become structured, actionable plans.
So the next time you get a school email at an inconvenient time — just forward it to Simplify.
No tabs. No typing. No stress.
Ready to try it? Forward your next school update to Simplify and see what happens. It really is that easy.
