If you schedule meetings via email, you know the back-and-forth can be a real hassle. Even picking up the phone these days to iron out a good meeting time can be a process of voicemail phone tag. Fortunately, there are some handy automated tools out there to iron out the wrinkles in scheduling meetings. One such free tool is Assistant.to for Gmail.
After you install Assistant.to as an extension to your Gmail account, Assistant.to turns scheduling meetings via Gmail into an easy, 3-step process:
- Click the Assistant.to logo in your email compose window.
- Add your meeting title, location, and available times. Then press “Insert Times Into Email.”
- Send the email and we’ll notify you when your participant confirms, denies, or changes the meeting details.
Assistant.to ensures there are no double-bookings, converts time zones automatically, and sends notifications to ensure everyone is reminded on-time. It also integrates with virtual meeting platforms such as GoToMeeting, Join.me, WebEx, Hangouts, and more.
If you use Gmail and you’re looking for a hassle-free scheduler, consider giving Assistant.to a try:
