Getting Started

SkipUp’s meeting assistant helps you schedule meetings by email. Just CC the assistant on an email thread, and it will find times that work for everyone, handle back-and-forth coordination, and create calendar events when a time is confirmed.

The assistant is designed to behave like a skilled executive assistant—proactive, smart about timezones, and respectful of your time.

How it works

1. CC the assistant

Add the assistant’s email address (e.g., skip@skipup.co) to any scheduling email. Find your assistant’s address in your workspace settings.

2. Describe your meeting

Tell the assistant what you need. “Can we find 30 minutes next week?” is enough—even a subject line alone works.

3. Assistant coordinates

The assistant suggests times, coordinates with participants, handles replies, and books the meeting when everyone confirms.

4. Meeting created

Once a time is confirmed, a calendar event is created with a video meeting link and all participants receive an invite.

How conversation tracking works

When you start a scheduling request, the assistant creates a unique email address for that conversation (e.g., meeting+abc123@mail.skipup.ai). This allows the assistant to:

• Track multiple meetings simultaneously — You can have several scheduling conversations in progress with the same people, each with its own unique address.
• Keep conversations separate — If you’re scheduling both a “Q1 Planning” meeting and a “Client Demo” with overlapping participants, the assistant knows which is which.
• Route replies correctly — When someone responds, the assistant matches their reply to the right conversation automatically.

You don’t need to do anything special—just reply to the thread normally. The unique address is handled behind the scenes.

What happens automatically

The assistant handles many details for you without being asked:

• Smart defaults — 45-minute meetings, 4-week timeframe, all CC’d participants included
• Timezone awareness — Finds times that work across timezones, shows times in your timezone
• Holiday avoidance — Skips US and Canada holidays automatically
• Duplicate detection — Consolidates multiple requests for the same meeting
