Unified inbox: email, SMS, push, in-app — one thread

Parents ping the studio. The studio replies. The channel stops mattering. Christina stops triaging two inboxes.

Status note: Template-provided; theming and routing in V1.

The story

Today, parents email the studio for things they should be self-serving — balance questions, schedule questions, class change requests. Christina ends up doing work the parent portal should be doing for them, plus answering the email anyway.

Pirouette unifies the channels. A parent texting, emailing, pushing through the portal, or messaging in-app all land in the same thread, claimed by whichever front-desk staff picks it up. Per-message thread on the kid's record so the history follows the family.

What this looks like in practice

  • Email / SMS / push / in-app collapse into one thread per family
  • First-claim locks routing — no two staff coordinating the same parent
  • Per-kid message history on the student record
  • Teacher-to-parent messages route through the broadcast engine — teacher never sees the parent's phone
