Automated Meeting Booking — from reply to calendar invite in 90 seconds
When a lead replies 'sure, next week', AI takes over: check slots, propose times, send calendar invites to all parties on confirmation.
What is Automate Meeting Booking?
Automated meeting booking detects scheduling intent in inbound replies, proposes available slots from the rep's calendar and sends a calendar invitation with video link on confirmation. Result: time-to-meeting drops from avg. 3.2 days to 90 seconds.
The most expensive stretch in any outbound funnel isn't the reply — it's the path from reply to confirmed meeting. On average that takes 3.2 days and 6.4 emails, and 35% of leads drop off. Amplifa removes this friction: AI detects intent, checks Google Calendar or Outlook for 3 free slots in the next 7 days, sends a compact proposal and confirms automatically.
