Smart Scheduling
Scheduling from Email Context
When someone emails you about meeting, you can tell Marin:
"Schedule a meeting with them for the time they suggested"
Marin reads the email context and creates the meeting accordingly.
Recurring Events
"Schedule a weekly team standup every Monday at 9am"
"Create a monthly review meeting on the first Friday of each month"
Integration with Zoom
If you've connected Zoom, Marin can automatically add video meeting links:
"Schedule a Zoom call with the marketing team on Wednesday"
The event will include a Zoom meeting link that attendees can use to join.
Common Use Cases

Quickly schedule calls with clients directly from email conversations.
