Choosing Between Scheduling Links and Coordination

Last updated: March 26, 2026

Workmate offers two ways to schedule meetings: Scheduling Links and Coordination through the assistant.

Choosing the right method depends on the complexity of the meeting.

Use Scheduling Links When

Scheduling links are best for quick, straightforward meetings that don’t require coordination.

Best for:

  • One-on-one meetings

  • Intro calls or quick check-ins

  • Flexible availability

  • Situations where the other person can choose any available time

Use Coordination When

Use Workmate coordination when scheduling involves more complexity or multiple people.

Best for:

  • Meetings with multiple participants

  • Scheduling across different calendars

  • Meetings with constraints (availability rules, priorities, preferences)

  • When back-and-forth coordination is needed

  • When scheduling on behalf of others
