SkipUp is a web-based follow-up and scheduling assistant that works through email and a connected calendar.

It accounts for time zones, skips US and Canada holidays, consolidates duplicate requests, and starts with 45-minute meeting and four-week timeframe defaults. Zapier can automate scheduling from CRM or form workflows, while an API with scoped keys works with meeting requests and workspace data. The Personal plan is free, including 10 meetings per person, three concurrent meetings, unlimited calendars and email support. Pro costs $49 a month for 30, 100 or 250 meetings monthly for one or two people. Support is by email only.
