School and team app integrations

The short version

Fambot works with Gmail/Outlook and Google/Outlook Calendar today. Direct integrations with the apps schools and sports teams commonly use — ParentSquare, TeamSnap, GroupMe, and similar platforms — aren't available yet, but they're actively being explored and prioritized based on what families ask for most.

Current status by platform

WhatsApp: Supported
ParentSquare: Not yet supported. On our radar.
TeamSnap: Coming soon.
GroupMe: Being explored — no committed timeline yet.

What you can do in the meantime

Since these platforms don't connect directly yet, the most reliable workaround is:

  • Forward or upload important messages to Gmail/Outlook or Fambot chat. If a school app sends you a PDF (a newsletter, a permission slip, a schedule), you can upload the PDF or send a photo of it directly to Fambot via chat — it'll pull out the key info and let you confirm what gets added to your calendar.
  • Use the newsletter decoder for anything that does arrive by email. Tap Menu → Newsletters and search for the sender to make sure Fambot is picking it up.

Why this takes time

Some of these platforms (WhatsApp among them) restrict what third-party apps can read via their API, which limits how deep an integration can go even when we build one. We factor real user requests — like yours — directly into what we prioritize next.
