About This Automation
Scheduling client review and service meetings manually requires account managers to juggle email threads, check multiple calendars, and coordinate across time zones. This back-and-forth process consumes 4- per week and frequently results in scheduling errors or missed meetings.

Key features:
Extract meeting request details automatically from email and identify client, meeting type, and preferred dates
Query team calendars and client availability to find mutually available time slots without manual checking
Recommend the best meeting time based on client preferences and team scheduling patterns
Create calendar invitations and send them to all attendees with one action
Log meeting records in your CRM with attendees, agenda, and meeting type pre-populated
Send reminder emails one day before the meeting to confirm attendance

1. Meeting Request Receivedtrigger
A new meeting request is created or received via email forwarded to the automation platform. The trigger captures the client name, meeting type, and any stated preferences.
2. Extract Request Details
The automation parses the meeting request to identify the client, meeting type, preferred dates, time zone, and required attendees from the email or CRM record.
3. Query Team Availability
The automation queries for all required team members and retrieves their free/busy status across the proposed date range.
4. Propose Meeting Time
The automation compares client preferences with team availability and identifies the best available time slot. If no slot exists, it flags the request for manual review.
5. Send Confirmation to Client
A confirmation email is sent to the client with the proposed meeting time, agenda, and a link to confirm or suggest an alternative.
6. Create Calendar Invites
Once the client confirms, calendar invitations are automatically created and sent to all attendees with meeting details and video call link.
7. Log Meeting
A meeting record is automatically created linked to the client contact, with date, time, attendees, and meeting type populated from the automation.
