Say who. Atona handles how.
Tell Atona who you want to meet. It checks if they're on the Atona network, finds mutual availability if they are, or coordinates over email if they're not. Your booking page handles the rest when you just want to share a link. One intent, three paths, zero back-and-forth.
In this guide: how Atona routes your request, the Atona network, email coordination, your booking page, and the slot intelligence behind all three.
What visitors see
Your booking page lives at app.atona.ai/schedule/you — a clean, fast page that shows your real-time availability. Visitors pick a meeting type, choose a day, select a time, and book. No account required.
Try saying
Whatever you'd ask a real assistant.
Find time for me and Sarah to connect this week.
Schedule 30 minutes with Alex next week.
Set up a call with the founder I met at the conference.
Share my booking link with the investors I emailed yesterday.
Find a time that works for me and Jordan next Thursday afternoon.
How it works
Set up your link
Choose a slug (app.atona.ai/schedule/you), define your meeting types and durations, set a booking window, and write a greeting. Done in under a minute from Settings.
Share it anywhere
Drop it in an email, text, or your LinkedIn bio. When Atona does outreach on your behalf, it includes the link automatically — no manual copy-paste.
Visitors pick a time
They see your real availability, converted to their timezone. Navigate by week, choose a day, tap a slot. No account needed, no sign-up friction.
Everything happens instantly
Calendar event created with video link. Invite sent to both of you. Atona notifies you with the visitor's name and any notes they left. The visitor gets a confirmation with an "Add to Calendar" link.
One request, three paths
You don't pick a mode. Atona checks who the contact is and takes the fastest path.
Mutual availability
Both calendars checked, best overlapping slots sent as a push notification. Alex taps a time, both calendars updated instantly.
Email coordination
Atona finds your best slots, emails Alex with 3 options, handles counter-proposals, and books the event when confirmed.
Booking page
Share your link in an email, text, or bio. Visitors see real-time availability and book directly. No account needed.
The Atona network
When Atona detects the contact is also on the network, it takes the fastest path. No link needed, no email thread, no back-and-forth.
Automatic mutual scheduling
Your Atona and theirs coordinate internally — both calendars are checked, the best times are identified, and the top options surface as a push notification on the other person's phone. They tap, pick a time, and both calendars are updated instantly.
For the initiator
Just say "find time for Alex and me to meet." You don't need to know Alex is on Atona — that's detected automatically. You get a notification when it's confirmed.
For the recipient
A push notification with a few proposed times. Tap the one that works. Calendar event appears on both sides with a video link.
If they haven't responded and the meeting is approaching, Atona asks you — "Alex hasn't picked a time yet. Want me to nudge or try email instead?"
Email scheduling — no link needed
When the contact isn't on the Atona network, scheduling moves to email — still fully automated. Just say "set up a call with Alex" and Atona handles proposals, counter-proposals, confirmation, and the calendar event. The whole coordination can span days without you touching it.
Atona finds your best slots
Reads your calendar, scores each option by preference and day load, and picks 3–5 strong candidates.
Sends the proposal
"Hi Alex, here are a few times that work next week..." — signed as your assistant, not you.
Parses the reply
Alex says "Thursday works but can we do 2 PM instead?" — Atona re-checks your calendar and counters or confirms.
Confirms and books
Calendar event created with a Meet link. Both you and Alex get an invite. Done.
Escalates to you
After 3 rounds or 5 days with no response, Atona surfaces it for your decision instead of guessing.
Up to 3 negotiation rounds before escalating. Nudges once after 2 days of silence. The contact always knows they're talking to your assistant — never impersonates you.
Smarter than "all free slots"
Most scheduling tools dump every free window on a page and call it done. Atona scores each candidate slot and surfaces only the best — the ones that actually make sense for your day.
The result: your booking page, email proposals, and Atona-to-Atona requests all surface the same high-quality slots — times that protect your focus, respect your energy patterns, and keep your day balanced.
Built into outreach
Atona already knows your scheduling link. When it sends emails, texts, or follows up on your behalf, it includes the link naturally — "pick a time that works: app.atona.ai/schedule/you." No extra setup, no templates to maintain.
When Atona does multi-step outreach, it includes your link automatically. If a contact replies asking to meet, Atona sends the link instead of starting a back-and-forth.
Here's a link to grab time on John's calendar whenever works for you.
Happy to set up a call — pick a slot here and I'll send the invite.
What you control
Your slug
Pick a short, memorable URL. Change it anytime — the old one stops working immediately.
Meeting types
Up to 5 types with custom labels and durations. "30-min intro," "60-min deep dive," "15-min check-in."
Booking window
How far out visitors can book — from 7 days to 3 months. Slots outside the window aren't shown.
Greeting message
A short note visitors see at the top of your page. Set the tone before they pick a time.
Deactivation
Turn your link off with one tap. Existing bookings stay on both calendars.
Calendar preferences
Working hours, buffer time, protected blocks — your standing rules apply to every slot the page shows.
Built-in protections
- Rate-limited — no one can spam-book your calendar.
- Double-booking prevented — a slot lock ensures only one visitor books each window.
- Visitors can't see your other meetings — only that a slot is or isn't available.
- Email validation required before booking goes through.
- Your calendar preferences (working hours, buffers, protected blocks) always apply.
Common questions
Do visitors need an Atona account?
No. The booking page is fully public. Visitors enter their name, email, and optionally a note. No sign-up, no login.
What calendar does it use?
Google Calendar. The event is created on your calendar with the visitor as an attendee. If video is selected, a Google Meet link is attached automatically.
How does the timezone work?
The page auto-detects the visitor's timezone and shows all slots in their local time. Your preferences and working hours are still enforced in your timezone — the conversion is seamless.
Can I have multiple meeting types?
Yes — up to 5. Each has its own label, duration, and type (video, phone, or in-person). Visitors pick the one that fits.
What happens if I change my calendar after someone books?
The booking is a real Google Calendar event. If you move or cancel it, the attendee is notified by Google Calendar as usual. Atona doesn't override your changes.
How is this different from Calendly?
Calendly is a link you share. Atona is a coordinator — you say who you want to meet, and it picks the fastest path: instant mutual scheduling if they're on the Atona network, email coordination if they're not, or your booking page when you want a self-serve link. Same slot intelligence across all three. No separate tool, no extra login, no monthly fee.
Can I turn it off temporarily?
Yes. Deactivate from Settings. The URL returns a "not available" message. Reactivate anytime — the same slug comes back.
