Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for scheduling an event to automatically join a user to a conference call. In one aspect, the method includes receiving an invitation for a user to join a conference call, extracting from the invitation a scheduled conference call time, conference call address information, conference call authentication information, and a conference call modality, and scheduling an event to join the user to the conference call via the conference call modality at the scheduled conference call time based on the conference call address information and the conference call authentication information. In another aspect, the system retrieves a scheduled event at a scheduled time, extracts the address, authentication, and modality information for the conference, and joins the user to the conference automatically at the scheduled time.
