Sidekick Scheduling helps coordinate meetings through scheduling pages, email requests, and calendar automation. It finds meeting times that work for Sidekick users and can send meeting requests to non-users for confirmation. Forwarding a meeting request email starts a process that checks availability, coordinates with the guest, and can book an available time. Sidekick can also create calendar events, send invitations, and send reminders before meetings. Personal and team scheduling pages let hosts set availability, meeting permissions, and preferences; guests can choose among in-person, video, or phone options when offered. Team Pages require a Superhero subscription, though invited team members can join for free by syncing their calendars. The free Hero plan includes one connected source and three scheduling pages, while scheduled meetings, groups, and contacts are unlimited. Superhero costs $5 a month and includes unlimited sources and calendars, unlimited scheduling pages, and Team Pages. Listed integrations include Gmail, Google Calendar, Outlook, Outlook Calendar, Thunderbird, Google Meet, Zoom, Teams, and Office 365. Sidekick is available on Android, iOS, and the web.
