Glad that you ask! Let me explain. In fact, "automatically" is actually a bit misleading. The correct term must be "half-automatically", because everything triggered within ChatGrape still requires your confirmation. (If not, we'd be flooded with false-positives.) Think about tagging on Facebook, specifically, writing a status update and tagging a page of a friend. If you start typing his / her name, Facebook will add a drop down menu and suggest the name(s) - you can select it or choose to ignore it - and the drop down will disappear again. This said, if you were to type, "No, 11am is not good for me. [first drop down with calendar event suggestion, which you simply ignore and go on typing] let's meet around noon tomorrow?" [second drop down with calendar event suggestion, which you confirm, and thus send me a calendar event invite]. Does this make sense?
