How Coordination Works
Last updated: March 26, 2026
Workmate automatically handles coordination when you schedule a meeting on behalf of someone else.
Here’s how the process works:
1. Request the Meeting
Start by asking Workmate to schedule a meeting for someone else.
You can optionally clarify that you are not required to attend.
Example:
“I’m scheduling a meeting for Will and Carla. I’m not required to join.”

2. Workmate Identifies Coordination
Workmate understands that you are coordinating the meeting, not attending.
It will:
Assign you as the Coordinator
Exclude you as an attendee
Identify the correct participants
No manual role selection is needed.
3. Meeting is Scheduled Correctly
Once a time is confirmed, Workmate creates the calendar invite:
The correct participants are included
The appropriate person is set as the organizer
You are not added to the invite
This ensures clean and accurate meeting scheduling.
Automatic Scheduling Behavior
If all participants are on Workmate, scheduling and role assignment happen automatically.
No manual coordination or follow-up is required.
Important Notes
You will remain part of the conversation, even if you are not included in the meeting
Workmate determines roles based on how the request is written
You can still guide the process by adding instructions if needed
