Pepper

Optional school email connection

School mail.
A little more manageable.

Pepper can check matching school emails and turn clear dates, tasks and kit instructions into saved information for your family.

Available to Pepper families with Gmail or a personal Outlook.com / Hotmail account. Work or school Microsoft 365 accounts are not supported yet.

Connect once.
Follow the progress.

Send CONNECT EMAIL in WhatsApp. Pepper sends a private setup link, where you choose Gmail or Outlook / Hotmail, read the access disclosure and sign in with that provider.

Your children’s school details help Pepper find relevant notices. You can also choose school senders on the connection page.

  1. First

    Recent school mail

    Pepper starts with matching messages from the past seven days.

  2. Next

    The rest of the month

    She works through the earlier part of the past 30 days. You can follow the import’s progress.

  3. Then

    New notices

    Automatic checks continue in the background when you’ve enabled them.

Dates

Clearly relevant trips, concerts and other one-off school events, matched to your family where the source supports it.

To-dos

Actions such as returning a form or preparing something for school, with a deadline when one is given.

Useful details

Reference notes and clear kit instructions that help with later questions. Saved notes are extracts, so some original detail may be missing.

Your choice, your controls

Know what you’re connecting.

Google or Microsoft grants Pepper read access across the mailbox you connect. Pepper applies its school matching rules to decide which messages to process. Matching email content, supported attachments and selected public links are sent to OpenAI to extract relevant information. Pepper cannot open pages that require a school login.

Pepper cannot send, change or delete your emails. You sign in with the provider; you don’t give Pepper your password.

Pause when you want.

Use the school email controls in Pepper Home to pause automatic checks or disconnect the account. Disconnecting removes Pepper’s connection; previously saved events and tasks remain until you remove them.

Check the original.

Imports can take time, and some emails may need clarification or fail to process. A saved list may be incomplete. For important dates or instructions, check the original school notice.

A little less family admin

Pepper is letting families in gradually.

Leave your email and we’ll invite you when a place opens.
