The disclosed communications architecture allows meeting organizers to automatically search and find meeting invitees or other target users using all known, discoverable, and available communications channels such as the telephone, text messaging, SMS (short message service), MMS (multimedia messaging service), single-purpose applications (e.g., gadgets), and email, for example, to at least notify the invitees of the meeting. The meeting organizer can initiate the automatic searches for invitees who may have missed the session start, or who may not have responded to participating in the meeting prior to meeting start, for example. Optionally, contacted meeting invitees can be easily joined into a meeting using web conferencing or other conference services (e.g., call) so the meeting can get started. The meeting organizer is then updated on the search request status and any invitee responses.
