Forward school emails to your family address

This is Kikko's superpower. Your family has its own private email address, and anything you forward there gets read by Kikko and turned into events, deadlines, and things to bring - original attached.

Find your family's address

1. Open Settings → Connect your channels

Your address ends in @inbox.kikko.ai and belongs only to your family.

The Connect your channels card in Settings with the family forwarding address highlighted — Your private forwarding address lives in Settings.

2. Save it as a contact

Tap Share the address to send it to yourself, or copy it and save it in your email contacts as "Kikko". That makes forwarding a two-tap habit.

Forward an email

3. Forward like you'd forward anything

Open the school email in Gmail, Outlook, or any mail app, hit forward, and send it to your Kikko address. No subject changes, no special format. It works from any email account - the address isn't tied to the email you signed up with.

4. Check the Inbox tab

Within a minute or so, the email shows up in Kikko's Inbox tab with a summary and a green "added" badge for what Kikko created.

An inbox item from a forwarded camp email, expanded to show five events and a task Kikko created — One camp email became five events and a task - each one tappable.

Tap the item to see exactly what Kikko added. View original shows the full email, so nothing is ever lost in translation.

5. The events carry their source

Open any event that came from an email and you'll find a link back to the original at the bottom. Perfect for "wait, what time was pick-up again?" moments.

An event detail screen with the From your inbox source link highlighted — Every extracted event links back to the email it came from.

Set up auto-forwarding (recommended)

Forwarding one email is nice. Never forwarding again is better. Set a rule in your mail app that auto-forwards school senders to your Kikko address:

Gmail: Settings → See all settings → Forwarding and POP/IMAP → Add a forwarding address (your Kikko address, Gmail sends it a confirmation that appears in your Kikko Inbox) → then create a filter for your school's sender with "Forward it to" your Kikko address.
Outlook: Settings → Mail → Rules → Add new rule → condition "From: your school" → action "Forward to" your Kikko address.

Set it once, and every newsletter, schedule change, and permission slip lands in Kikko automatically.

Good to know

Kikko reads emails in any language - Italian school newsletter, German camp schedule, all fine.
Kikko never sees your mailbox. It only receives the individual emails you forward or auto-forward.
If Kikko wasn't sure about a date or detail, the item is flagged for review so you can confirm it with one tap.
Attachments (PDFs, images) come along with the forwarded email and Kikko reads those too.
