Add Participants

You can add new participants to a meeting at any time. Here’s how.

Adding with an email address

The clearest way to add someone is with their email:

“Please add sarah.jones@example.com to this meeting”

The assistant will:

1. Include Sarah in the meeting
2. Re-check availability for all participants
3. Adjust suggested times if needed

Adding by name (when CC’d)

If you CC someone on your reply, you can add them by name:

1. CC the person on your email reply
2. Say “Please add John to this meeting”

The assistant matches “John” to the CC’d email and includes them automatically.

Adding by name only (no email)

If you mention someone by name without providing or CC’ing their email:

“Can you add my colleague John?”

The assistant will ask for John’s email address before proceeding. It won’t pretend to add someone without knowing how to reach them.

Automatic inclusion via CC

If you CC someone new on the scheduling thread without explicitly mentioning them, they’re automatically included—no special action needed.

Example:

To: alice@example.com
CC: skip@skipup.co, newperson@example.com  ← automatically included
Subject: Re: Meeting next week

[Your reply]

The assistant treats everyone on the thread as a participant by default.

Adding participants to an already-booked meeting

Even after a meeting is confirmed, you can add people:

“Please add marketing@example.com to our Tuesday meeting”

The assistant will:

1. Update the calendar event with the new participant
2. Send them a calendar invite
3. Include them in any follow-up communications

What happens to availability

When you add a new participant before the meeting is booked:

• The assistant rechecks availability including the new person
• Previously suggested times may no longer work
• You’ll get updated options if needed

When you add someone after booking:

• The meeting time stays the same
• The new participant is added to the existing event
