Hey, PH friends! 👋 I’m Jeff from Calendly, and we're excited to show you Meeting Polls, our newest way to schedule that lets a group of people quickly vote on preferred times before booking meetings. Go to https://calendly.com, sign in (or sign up if you haven't), and smash that Create button in the app. You'll see Meeting Polls as an option now! ✨ Some of you maybe use Calendly today to share *your* availability with others. But what if you want to give *everyone else* more of a say? With Meeting Polls, all of your invitees can vote on a time to meet. 🌅 The best parts? ➡️ It’s completely free. ➡️ And has zero weird ads. If you’ve ever had to schedule a call with several beta testers, a get-together with your team, or even a holiday meet-up with your fam, you know how tedious it can be to find a time that works for everyone. We hope Meeting Polls makes finding a time easier. 🙏🏽 And @chrismessina thank you for hunting us! ❤️ This is a public beta, so please try it out and let us know what you think! Your thoughts will inform what we build next.

Awesome!! Some might say about time calendly made a doodle-esque polling feature ;) We will definitely use this in our team - congrats on the launch guys!

I got to try out Calendly Polls during beta. It was easy to set up a poll and have people vote on times that work for them. Then with one click you can schedule the meeting on everyone's calendar. The user interface is very clean and easy to use, and unlike other products I've used in the past, it isn't full of annoying ads. The lack of ads makes me much more willing to share these polls, especially in a business context. Disclosure: my wife works for Calendly, but I really do love this product and have been a Calendly user since before she worked there!

@jhaile Thank you, Jeremy, for trying out Meeting Polls!

This was much needed
Jeffrey Hardison
@farokh_shahabi Ah, love that you think so! Please give us feedback after you try it out.
Martina Hackbartt
I will definitely try this! A problem solver. Congrats on the launch
Jeffrey Hardison
@martina_hackbartt Thank you! Glad you think it solves a real problem.

Overall, the feature looks very useful. But... I feel like it needs an option to automatically when complete instead of going back in and selecting it (at least for paid accounts). For example, this if we could indicate that we need votes from 7 users to automatically finalize. Then, when that number of votes is received, it can auto select and send out a time without us going back in and picking a top voted slot.

@scbarclay Love this idea and will be adding it to our enhancement list!

Make Good
Wow, this is very useful! We've had some problems and for some reason even couple hours of difference make a complete mess of suggestions. Good job!! Calendar looks nice and clean as well 😁
Jeffrey Hardison
@make_good Thanks a lot! Yes, we hope time-zone wrangling gets even easier with Meeting Polls.
Rudy Arconte
