Birthday parties
Turn a text-heavy WhatsApp party invite into a clean calendar event complete with the start time, venue, and RSVP notes.
WhatsApp is where family plans arrive, but it's a terrible place to store them.
Birthday party invites quickly disappear under a mountain of 'thanks!' replies before you ever get a chance to save them.
School WhatsApp groups are chaotic, burying crucial term dates in long messages, random screenshots, and last-minute chatter.
The lack of automation means one 'default parent' is stuck doing all the tedious copy-and-pasting into the calendar app.
When partners or childminders receive important updates on their phones, they have no simple way to add them to the shared family schedule.
Built for the messy invites parents actually receive
School group chats
Easily capture class assemblies, non-uniform days, school trips, and fairs before they scroll out of view.
Clubs and sports
Forward last-minute fixture changes, training reminders, and match locations before they get lost in the noise.
A WhatsApp calendar assistant built for real family life
Always accurate. Toucan checks with you before saving anything, so mistakes don't silently slip into the family calendar.
Share the mental load. Up to five authorised family members can forward event details directly into the shared schedule.
No new apps to learn. You don't need another dashboard; just keep checking the calendar app already installed on your phone.
Strictly privacy-first. Toucan is built by an independent UK family business that never sells your data or uses it for AI training.
Questions parents ask
Can Toucan add a WhatsApp invite directly to Google Calendar?
Yes! Just forward the WhatsApp invite to Toucan. Once you approve the extracted details, the event automatically syncs to your Google Calendar via your secure Toucan feed.
Does this work with Apple Calendar on my iPhone?
Absolutely. Once you subscribe to your unique Toucan calendar feed on your iPhone, any event you approve via WhatsApp will appear right in your Apple Calendar.
Can I send screenshots from WhatsApp as well as text messages?
Yes. Toucan's AI is designed specifically for messy parent admin, meaning it can easily read event details from WhatsApp text messages, screenshots, photos, and even PDFs.
