How to Coordinate Participant Availability With ClickUp AI Agents

ClickUp makes it easy to coordinate participant availability by combining powerful AI Agents with clear, automated workflows that keep every meeting organized and on schedule.

This step-by-step guide shows you how to use AI to gather availability, compare responses, and suggest the best meeting times for your team or external participants.

What You Need Before You Start in ClickUp

Before building your availability coordination workflow, confirm you have the following in ClickUp:

• Access to the AI Agents features in your Workspace.
• A Space, Folder, or List where you want to track meetings.
• Permission to create tasks, custom fields, and forms.

Having these pieces ready ensures your automation will run smoothly from the first test.

Step 1: Create a Dedicated List in ClickUp

Begin by creating a dedicated List for all meetings you plan to coordinate with AI:

1. Open your Workspace and navigate to the correct Space or Folder.
2. Click to add a new List for meetings or events.
3. Name it something clear, such as AI-Managed Meetings.

This List will store every task that represents an upcoming session, including all related availability information.

Step 2: Add Custom Fields for Availability in ClickUp

Next, add custom fields so AI Agents can store and compare responses:

• Proposed Date/Time Options – text or dropdown field containing initial options.
• Confirmed Meeting Time – date/time field for the final decision.
• Participant Responses – text or long-text field summarizing availability.
• Status – custom status values like Collecting Availability, Scheduling, and Confirmed.

Clearly labeled fields help the AI Agent process information and keep every meeting organized.

Step 3: Design a Participant Intake Form in ClickUp

Use a Form view so participants can easily send their availability:

1. Open your meetings List.
2. Add a Form view.
3. Include fields like name, email, and time zone.
4. Add a question where participants can select or enter their available time slots.

Share this form link directly with attendees so their responses flow into the same List automatically.

Step 4: Set Up a ClickUp AI Agent for Availability Collection

Now, configure an AI Agent to manage availability collection for each meeting task:

1. Open the AI settings area for your Workspace.
2. Create a new AI Agent dedicated to scheduling.
3. Define its role, for example: “Assist with collecting and analyzing participant availability for meetings.”
4. Grant access to the meetings List and relevant custom fields.

The Agent should be allowed to read form responses, update tasks, and write summaries into the appropriate fields.

Step 5: Configure the AI Agent’s Instructions in ClickUp

Provide detailed instructions so the Agent reliably handles each step:

• Identify all participants tied to a given meeting task.
• Collect submitted availability from the Form or related subtasks.
• Compare all time slots to find overlaps.
• Recommend one or more ideal time windows.
• Update the Proposed Date/Time Options and Participant Responses fields.

By giving precise guidance, you help the Agent avoid confusion and keep the schedule accurate.

Step 6: Automate Triggers and Actions in ClickUp

Connect the AI Agent to your daily workflow using automations:

1. Open your meetings List and go to Automations.
2. Create a new automation for when a new meeting task is created or a form is submitted.
3. Set the action to Run AI Agent with your scheduling Agent.
4. Optionally, add another automation to update Task Status when availability collection is complete.

This ensures every new meeting automatically triggers the Agent to begin gathering and analyzing availability.

Step 7: Use ClickUp AI to Analyze Availability and Suggest Times

Once participants submit their availability, the AI Agent can generate clear suggestions:

• Scan all responses for overlapping time windows.
• Consider time zones, working hours, and constraints noted by participants.
• Write a short summary of the best options in the Participant Responses field.
• Update the Proposed Date/Time Options field with ranked suggestions.

You or your meeting organizer can quickly review these suggestions and select the final time.

Step 8: Confirm the Final Meeting Time in ClickUp

When you are ready to confirm the meeting slot:

1. Select the recommended time that works for all or most participants.
2. Enter it into the Confirmed Meeting Time field.
3. Change the task status to Confirmed.
4. Optionally, trigger another automation to send internal notifications.

This creates a single source of truth for every participant and for your internal team.

Step 9: Coordinate Reminders and Follow-Up Using ClickUp AI

You can extend the workflow with more AI Agent actions:

• Send reminder emails or messages to participants before the meeting.
• Summarize agreed-upon details inside the task description.
• Create follow-up tasks after the meeting for notes, action items, or recordings.

By centralizing these steps, your meeting coordination remains consistent over time.

Best Practices for ClickUp AI Availability Workflows

Keep Your ClickUp Fields Structured

Use consistent naming for fields and statuses so the AI Agent can recognize and update them reliably. Avoid frequent changes to field names once your workflow is active.

Review AI Scheduling Suggestions in ClickUp

Always skim the Agent’s proposed time slots, especially for important or external meetings. Human oversight helps catch unusual time zones or last-minute conflicts.

Test Your ClickUp Automation With Sample Participants

Run a trial with a small group before rolling the workflow out to your entire organization. This lets you refine instructions and confirm your automations behave as expected.
