For Maple Fast Events to work, you must have a Maple Family App account.
Key Features of Maple Fast Events
Here’s what makes Maple Fast Events a game-changer for managing your family’s schedule:
Automatic Event Creation: Just forward any email containing event details to Maple, and our AI instantly converts it into a calendar event with all the details.
Centralized Event List: All forwarded events are stored in a dedicated Maple Fast event list, making them easy to view, manage, and organize.

Tips for Using Maple Fast Events Effectively
To get the most out of Maple Fast Events, follow these best practices:
Use the Right Email Address: Make sure to forward emails from the same email address you used to sign up for Maple. If you signed up using "Sign in with Apple" and chose to hide your email, be sure to update your email address in Maple’s settings to enable forwarding.
Don't Delete the Event List: If you delete the Maple Fast event list, any associated events will also be removed from your shared calendar. Keep the list intact to avoid losing event data.
