Escalation

An escalation ladder you control

When a drop-off is not confirmed by the deadline, the app climbs a ladder of steps. Each step has a delay, a channel and a target.

A friendly heads-up first

Optionally, a short reminder goes out a few minutes before the deadline, so most mornings end with one tap.

Channels

Push notifications, WhatsApp and email. SMS and phone calls are not available in the free version for now.

Who gets each step

The responsible parent, the other parent, both parents, your emergency contacts or the daycare. Each step can target a different group.

It does not give up quietly

After the last step, the final step repeats every few minutes until someone confirms, for up to an hour by default.

The escalation ladder

Gentle first. Then impossible to miss.

The recommended preset below. You can make it gentler or more aggressive, change every step and choose who gets each one.

  1. −10 minFriendly reminder before the deadline
  2. +0 minPush notification to the responsible parent
  3. +4 minWhatsApp message to the responsible parent
  4. +6 minPush and email to both parents
  5. +12 minWhatsApp to both parents
  6. +15 minWhatsApp and email to your emergency contacts
  7. +20 minWhatsApp to the daycare

Any confirmation stops the ladder at once.

SMS and phone calls are not available in the free version for now.
