With Smart Meetings, you can put all of your recurring meetings on auto-pilot. Smart Meetings automatically find the best time for two or more people to meet across everyone’s busy schedules. Create a Smart Meeting to automate a recurring meeting.

How to create your first Smart Meeting

  1. Click Smart Meetings in the left sidebar.

  2. Click + New Smart Meeting in the upper right.

  3. Fill out the scheduling rules requested in each field (Frequency, Duration, and Ideal Time).

  4. Click Save.

Pro tip:  Smart Meetings will automatically schedule according to the organizer’s priority setting and you and your attendees' mutual availability (across timezones, if applicable). The attendee doesn't have to be a Reclaim user, but you do need to have at least free/busy visibility to their calendar, for example a coworker.

  • If an event gets booked over the Smart Meeting, Reclaim will automatically reschedule it to the next best available time for everyone.

  • By default Smart Meetings are locked at the start of each working day. To change this:

    1. Go to Settings.

    2. Click Scheduling.

    3. Click Auto-lock to lock Smart Meeting events at the start of the week.

How to replace an existing recurring meeting with a Smart Meeting

  1. You will need to delete the recurring event you own from your calendar, and replace it with a new Smart Meeting.

  2. Follow the same steps as above to create a + New Smart Meeting, add an attendee (for example, a direct report for a 1:1), and fill out your preferred scheduling details.

Once saved, Reclaim will send a one-time meeting invitation to the attendee, and start auto-scheduling the meeting.
