Your Workmate Just Got Even Better: Now Available in Slack

We've got news that's going to make your workday a whole lot smoother. You know how you've been cc'ing your Workmate on emails to handle all that scheduling back-and-forth? Well, we just made things even easier. You can now chat directly with your Workmate in Slack.

Yep, that's right. The same assistant who's been clearing your calendar conflicts and booking your meetings can now do it all right where you're already working.

Here's how it works

Just install the Workmate Slack app and then message your Workmate in Slack like you would any other teammate. Need to schedule a meeting? Drop them a note. Got a scheduling conflict that needs sorting? They're on it. Want to move your 2pm because something came up? Just ask.

No more switching tabs. No more forwarding email threads. Just quick messages in Slack, and your Workmate handles the rest.

Your calendar digest, right in Slack

Prefer to start your day in Slack instead of your inbox? You can now have your daily or weekly schedule digest delivered straight to your Slack DMs. Set it up once, and every evening (or Monday morning, if you prefer weekly), your Workmate will drop a clean rundown of what's ahead. No more hunting through your calendar to figure out when that PT appointment is or whether you've got back-to-back meetings all afternoon. And if you need a quick check on your schedule anytime during the day? Just ask. Your Workmate can pull up today's time blocks, tomorrow's agenda, or flag any conflicts that need sorting out.

Why we built this

We built Workmate as a scheduling assistant that lives in your email. However, more and more work is now conducted in Slack, so we decided to meet you wherever you work. Your day is already chaotic enough without having to jump between apps every time you need to schedule something. You're in Slack talking with your team, someone suggests meeting next week, and suddenly you're off hunting through your calendar and drafting emails.

That stops now.

With Workmate in Slack, scheduling becomes part of your natural workflow. You're already there. Now your scheduling assistant is already there, too. Everything just happens faster.

Quick fixes, right when you need them

The real magic happens when things change (because they always do). Spot a double-booking? Ask your Workmate to resolve it. Need to clear your Friday afternoon for focused work? They'll move everything around. Got a meeting that needs to shift to next week? Just say the word, and they'll coordinate with everyone involved. You can even have your assistant reach out to other people to schedule meetings on your behalf, all through Slack. It's the same level of proactive calendar management you're used to, just faster and more convenient. No context switching, no email chains, just quick back-and-forth that gets things handled while you keep working.

Same great service, better access

Nothing changes about the quality of service you're used to. You still get that real US-based assistant who knows your preferences and protects your time. You still get the 24/7 coverage powered by our AI platform. You still get most meetings scheduled in under 10 minutes.

You just get to do it all without leaving Slack!

Getting started

If you're already using Workmate, setting up Slack is simple. Head to your dashboard and connect your workspace under Settings. Within minutes, you'll be messaging your assistant right alongside the rest of your team conversations.

Not using Workmate yet? Now's a pretty good time to start. We've got a 7-day free trial, no obligation. Give it a shot and see how much time you get back when someone else handles all the scheduling gymnastics.

Because honestly, you've got better things to do than play calendar Tetris all day.
