How it works

Up and running in minutes

No forms, no app, no password — WhatsApp is the whole product.

1

Say hi on WhatsApp

Message our number, tell us your name. That's the whole signup.

2

Forward your school mail

We create yourname@schoolcoms.co.za. Set up a once-off forwarding rule so school emails arrive automatically — or skip the setup and simply forward them yourself as they come in. Your inbox keeps the originals either way. Step-by-step guide (PDF) for Gmail, Outlook & more.

3

We read every email

Summaries and attachments arrive on WhatsApp, and every date lands in your personal calendar.

4

Tap the menu

Today, this week, holidays, marks, files — everything is one tap on the WhatsApp menu. Need something specific? Type search swimming gala.

Forward school emails only. SchoolComs is built for school communication — please don't forward your personal email to your SchoolComs address.

FAQ

Questions parents ask

No. Everything happens in WhatsApp, which you already have. Signup is literally sending us your name.

You get your own address like yourname@schoolcoms.co.za, and there are two easy ways to get school mail into it. Most parents set up a once-off forwarding rule in their email (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud…) so messages from the school are forwarded automatically — our Email Forwarding Guide (PDF) has click-by-click steps for every major provider. Prefer not to change any settings? Then simply forward school emails to your SchoolComs address yourself, whenever one lands. Either way your personal inbox stays untouched and keeps every original. Please forward school emails only — no personal mail.

Your first 14 days are free. After that it's R50.00/month — you enter your card details once and a secure monthly subscription is created with PayFast. Cancel whenever you like.

Your mail lives in your own dedicated mailbox and is processed to build your calendar only. We never sell or share data. See our privacy policy.

Forward as many school senders as you like into your SchoolComs address — everything merges into one calendar and one searchable history.

Never miss another school email.
