When a school email arrives, Bubsby tries to figure out which child it's for. Here's how.
What this does
- Reads the sender, subject, and content for clues about which child is involved.
- Matches against the children, schools, and grades you've set up.
- Suggests a child on the email card — you can adjust before confirming.
When to use this
- You've set up your children and connected an email source.
- A school email arrives and you want to see how Bubsby decided.
How it works
Bubsby looks for clues in this order:
- Direct mention — the child's name in the email.
- Grade + school — "Year 3" plus the school's name.
- Sender's school — sender or domain matches a school you set up.
- Grade range — "Years 1–3" matches a child in Year 2.
- Fuzzy name — nickname or partial spelling.
- Context — themes like "sports" or "music" plus grade.
Strongest match wins. It shows on the email card with the child's avatar.
Important things to know
- It's a suggestion — change it before confirming if needed.
- Multiple matches show multiple avatars.
- No match? Pick a child manually on the review screen.
Common questions
- Wrong child? Change it in the review screen — Bubsby learns over time.
- Can I assign senders to children? Not yet directly, but adjusting matches helps.
