Online Course Creator Guide

How to Automate Calendar & Scheduling as a Online Course Creator

You're running live Q&As for your 8-week cohort, recording new modules, and answering student questions. Trying to manually coordinate office hours for 85 students or book guest experts means endless email tag while your actual course content sits unfinished.

The Current Reality

The Manual Way

Sending individual Calendly links via email, chasing time zone confirmations, and manually blocking recording time on Google Calendar.

4 hours per week
  1. Email each student or guest to find a mutual time slot across time zones.
  2. Copy-paste the agreed time into Google Calendar with a Zoom link.
  3. Manually type out reminder emails 24 hours before the session.
  4. Update a separate spreadsheet to track who has attended their scheduled call.

AI Secretary

Hey, need to get the Week 3 breakout sessions booked. There are 12 students who requested them.
9:41 AM
Got it. Should I offer them slots next Thursday between 1pm and 5pm EST? And do you want 30 mins per student?
9:41 AM
Yes, 30 mins each. Just make sure there's a 10 min break between them so I can grab water.
9:42 AM
Done. I've created 12 slots on Thursday with 10-min buffers. I'm texting the students now to pick their time. Once they reply, I'll send the calendar invites with the Zoom link.
9:42 AM
Perfect. Also, block off next Friday morning from 8am to 11am for 'Module 5 Recording'. Do not disturb.
9:43 AM
Blocked. I've marked Friday 8am-11am as 'Module 5 Recording' on your calendar and set your status to Busy.
