Question 1

How do I keep on top of school emails?

Accepted Answer

Keeping up with school emails can feel like a job in itself, especially with more than one child. WasItToday summarises long school emails into clear, bite-sized updates and pulls out the key dates, deadlines and events so you don't have to read everything in detail.

Question 2

Is there an app that summarises school newsletters?

Accepted Answer

Yes — WasItToday is designed specifically for this. It takes school newsletters and digest emails, breaks them into individual messages, and gives you a short summary for each one so you see what matters in seconds.

Question 3

What does my child's school need from me this week?

Accepted Answer

That's exactly the problem WasItToday solves. Instead of scanning long emails, you get a clear summary of each message, a list of key actions, and important dates and events extracted for you — so you always know what needs doing and when.

Question 4

How does WasItToday work?

Accepted Answer

It's simple: forward a school email (or set up auto-forwarding), WasItToday reads it and breaks it into individual messages, summarises each one in plain English, extracts the key dates and events, and lets you add them straight to your calendar.

Question 5

Does WasItToday work with ParentMail, Arbor, SchoolPing or ClassDojo?

Accepted Answer

Yes. WasItToday works with all major school communication platforms, including ParentMail, Arbor, SchoolPing, ClassDojo, SchoolPost and similar systems. As long as the school sends emails, WasItToday can process them.

Question 6

Is WasItToday safe to forward school emails to?

Accepted Answer

Yes — safety and privacy are built in from the start. Your emails are only used to generate summaries and extract events. We don't sell your data and your data is not used to train third-party AI models. We store only the minimum needed to provide the service, and you stay in control of your data at all times.

Question 7

Will WasItToday add events to my calendar automatically?

Accepted Answer

No. WasItToday extracts key dates from school emails, generates .ics calendar files and lets you add them directly to your calendar in seconds, so you don't miss trips, deadlines or parents' evenings. You decide what to add and what to skip.

Question 8

Do I still need to read the original school emails?

Accepted Answer

WasItToday gives you everything important upfront: clear summaries, key dates and events, so you don't have to read every email in detail just to stay on top of things. Many parents still enjoy reading school emails in their own time — and you always can.

Question 9

Is WasItToday free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. WasItToday is currently free to use while in beta. No card details required.

Who is WasItToday for?
