MVP 2 of School Notifications for Parents:
My first iteration focused solely on extracting a summary from school email and sending that information to parents as notification. But, I believe sending notification through an app may face a big challenge to onboard . At a starting phase, it seems easier to send information via sms. So, for this next phase for sms, I introduce an event categorisation because different types of events require different notification timeframes. For example, parents should receive reminders for project deadlines earlier than just the events. For this MVP, I have standardised the schedule to keep it simple: 3 days before for school events, 5 days before for project submissions, and 1 day before for school notifications that require immediate attention like No school tomorrow.
Another important step would be to consider sending this notification every single day till the day of the event and not just one time
Example: Project Deadline Start date = eventDate − 5 days → November 25 Daily reminders sent on: Nov 25, Nov 26, Nov 27, Nov 28, Nov 29, Nov 30
Example: Field trip event Start date = eventDate − 3 days → Nov 28 Daily reminders on: Nov 25, Nov 26, Nov 27, Nov 28
Example: Immediate Attention Only send: Previous day. No school on 1st . Reminder sent on: Nov 30th
What would be the KPIs that can help me determine whether this has been successful or not? I would consider below indicators :
- Percentage of time when this email has been correctly summarized and categorized into right events
- On time delivery rate should be accurate. Like 5 days before the project, 3 days for Events and Immediate attention events like No school can be a day prior.. 3.Percentage decrease in homework/project deadlines missed by parents after getting these notifications
- Automation success rate, every time the email is received, zapier or any other system should be able to send the notification
- Parents Opting out of this notification should be minimal
