Get Jam On It: Forward events straight to your calendar

Jam On It is Jam's email-forwarding feature — one of the fastest ways to get events into Jam. School newsletters, appointment confirmations, activity schedules, party invites: just forward them and Jaime, your Jam Family Assistant, creates the event for you. It's one of the ways to feed Jaime (alongside typing, voice, and image uploads in the app).

How It Works

1. Find the email with the event details.
2. Forward it to go@jamfamilycalendar.com. You can forward from any email address linked to your Jam account — including calendars you've connected via sync, not just the email you signed up with.
3. Jaime reads the email and pulls out the details — dates, times, locations — even when they're buried in a long, email thread.
4. Jaime adds it to Jam and sends you a notification when it's ready to review. You can review it by tapping the notification, or by opening Jaime (the purple magic-wand button) anytime to see your pending plans.

What Jaime Creates From Your Email

Jaime routes what it finds to the right place and assigns it to the right people:

• Events for anything with a specific date and time (a travel itinerary, a dinner reservation, appointments, practices, parties), assigned to the family member(s) they're for.
• To Dos for actionable items without a fixed time (return the library books, RSVP to a party, buy supplies for a project).
• List items sorted onto the right list — shopping, groceries, or any custom list.

Jaime may also suggest things to bring or do ahead of time — like packing dance shoes for recital, bringing snacks for the team, or grabbing a gift before the party — so nothing gets missed before the event.

Tips for Best Results

• Include names: If the event is for a specific family member, mention their name. Jaime assigns based on the content of the message, not just who sent it.
• Clear details help: Emails with clear dates, times, and locations work best.
• Not an email? Use Jaime in the app: For a texted appointment, a paper flyer, or a plan you just want to say out loud, open Jaime with the purple magic-wand button and type it, say it, or upload a screenshot/photo instead.
• Check the result: After forwarding, open Jam to review and edit the event.

Forward From Any Linked Email

You're not limited to the email you registered with. Any email address connected to your Jam account (for example, a work calendar you've synced) can forward to go@jamfamilycalendar.com and Jaime will create the event — no need to route it through your personal email first.
