For programs and coordinators

Email Cheat Code at cohort scale. The program sponsors access. Each student connects their own school email and stays in control. Coordinators see setup status - never email content.

The model at cohort scale

Programs that work with college students - first-generation support, re-entry programs, accessibility offices, adult learner centers, academic coaching programs, and student support offices - share a common pattern: students miss institutional emails that affect their progress, and resolving the issue often becomes shared work between the student and the support team.

Email Cheat Code makes that visible. The program sponsors a seat for each student. Setup is invite-based: coordinators can send students an invite link, and each student creates their own account, connects their own Gmail or Microsoft 365 account, and controls that connection. When something important arrives - financial aid, registration hold, bursar notice - the student gets a text.

The program sees seat status. The program does not see email content, sender names, subject lines, or alert summaries. Privacy stays with the student. Visibility into setup stays with the coordinator.

What coordinators see

  • Seat status across the cohort: invited, accepted, connected, disconnected
  • Which students have connected their email and which haven't - so you can follow up on setup, not on content
  • Billing and seat allocation across the cohort
  • Shared sender list for the cohort, so program-specific emails can be given a closer look

Coordinators do not see email content, sender names, subject lines, or the alert summaries sent to students. Those are visible only to the student who connected the account.

Built for cohort setup

Easy cohort setup

Invite students with a setup link. Each student creates their own account, connects their own mailbox, and controls their connection. Coordinators can see who has accepted and who still needs to finish setup.

Program-specific senders

Add shared sender addresses for the plan, such as a program office, advisor, coach, financial aid contact, or re-entry support inbox. Email Cheat Code gives those senders a closer look during scans. This is optional, and students can choose whether to use the shared sender list in their own scans.

Language access

Have language access needs? We are exploring translated SMS summaries for programs where that would materially help students act on important English-language emails.

Get a pilot started

Programs work best when we can size the cohort, understand the institution's email setup, and walk through what coordinators will see in advance. Reach out and we'll set up a short conversation.

Security and compliance

Email Cheat Code is a product of Watch My Inbox. Read-only mailbox access, AES-256-GCM encryption for stored credentials, CASA Tier 2 verified, no stored email bodies.

Privacy at cohort scale

Programs can track setup and service status across sponsored seats, so coordinators know who still needs help getting connected. Programs cannot see student email content, alert summaries, sender names, subject lines, dashboards, or specific alert history.

We may add high-level, numerical usage metrics over time to help sponsors understand whether the service is creating value. Those metrics will be designed to prove the service is working without exposing what any student received, read, ignored, or acted on.

FERPA note: Email Cheat Code does not receive student records from schools. Each student authorizes access directly through Google or Microsoft OAuth. The school is not sharing records with us, and sponsors do not get access to student email content or alerts.
