With Calendly Meeting Polls, your invitees vote on preferred times so you can easily accommodate personal preferences and time zones when scheduling with multiple people. Unlike other scheduling tools, Polls is completely free and has zero ads.
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!
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.
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.
@berthakgokong We're glad you like the look of the product. From our perspective, we've deliberately made Meeting Polls free for anyone to use. Do you think it's missing something in terms of being free?
