Constant “Are you free for a chat?” emails break your flow:

  • You pause deep work
  • Check calendars
  • Suggest slots
  • Wait on replies
  • Toggle back and forth between your email and calendar
  • Paste emails
  • Send an invite

Just cc [email protected], and get back to work; your AI scheduling assistant proposes times, collects a confirmation, and drops a perfect invite on every calendar.

How Automatic Meeting Coordination Works

  1. Receive a meeting request.
  2. CC [email protected].
  3. Dule checks your live availability, proposes slots, and waits for a pick.
  4. Upon confirmation, everyone gets a calendar invite.


Pro-tips & FAQs

  • Dule respects your working hours and buffers.
  • No links, logins, or downloads for attendees—everything stays in-thread.

Additional context

Auto Coordinate is designed for the common inbound request where someone asks for time but no slot has been confirmed yet. Instead of checking your calendar, drafting options, and chasing replies manually, you add Dule once and let the thread move toward a confirmed meeting from there.

Where Auto Coordinate helps most

  • Inbound meeting requests where the sender asks if you are free.
  • Threads where one organizer’s calendar is the anchor for the decision.
  • External scheduling where you want to avoid pushing guests into a separate booking page.
  • Follow-up-heavy conversations where the real pain is remembering to nudge people and send the final invite.

Use something else when

  • Use Quick Add when the time is already decided.
  • Use Request A Time when several recipients need to align on one slot.
  • Use Special Addresses when you want reusable defaults for a repeated scheduling workflow.


See where inbound coordination breaks traditional scheduling tools

Auto Coordinate is the workflow buyers look for when someone asks for time and the thread still needs real back-and-forth. These comparison pages show where inbox-native follow-up beats booking links, ATS workflows, and single-thread assistants.
