You can see who invited or disabled the Waggle Bot for any meeting you're attending. This feature helps when:

  • You're wondering why Waggle didn't join a meeting

  • You want to confirm who enabled the bot for insights

  • You're the meeting owner and need oversight

Where to Check This Information in the Waggle App

You can view bot control information in several places within Waggle:

  • Go to Your Dashboard → View your next meeting details

  • Open the Schedule tab in your Dashboard → Check upcoming meetings

  • Use the Calendar view → Click on any meeting event

  • When In a meeting → Access the attendee list in the Waggle interface

In the attendee settings panel, you'll see each participant's bot preferences:

  • Green check = Invited the bot

  • Red X = Disabled the bot

  • Purple star = Meeting owner

Meeting Owner Has Final Control ✨

The meeting owner (marked with a ⭐) makes the final decision about the bot's presence. Important notes:

  • Even if other attendees disable the bot, it will join if the owner invites it

  • When Waggle joins, it generates a summary, transcript, and meeting effectiveness metrics that all Waggle accounts can see

  • Skills feedback features are available only to managers and enterprise plan members with Waggle accounts

If you don't want Waggle in a meeting: Speak directly with the meeting owner, as they have the final say on whether the bot joins.

Enterprise Features and Privacy

For managers and enterprise plan members:

  • You'll receive meeting insights (summaries, tasks, effectiveness metrics)

  • These insights are available even if you personally didn't invite the bot

Notifications About Bot Invitations

If you receive an email notification for an upcoming meeting with Waggle Bot, it will show:

  • The meeting owner

  • 1-2 other additional participants who invited the bot
