In an ideal world, meetings would simply involve setting a time and date, sending invites and holding the event. Unfortunately, the process isn't that straightforward.
Often, scheduling meetings involves finding a convenient time for all parties, sending numerous emails and finding a suitable venue. In fact, four out of 10 workers waste up to 30 minutes searching for an ideal place. It's a tedious and time-consuming process. Fortunately, it doesn't have to be.
With a professional meeting planner, you can eliminate the hassle. Ready to transform your scheduling process? Here's why you should use Doodle.
Integration with popular apps
Doodle works well with other apps and tools in a scheduling workflow. The event planning software integrates seamlessly with various calendars and video conferencing apps, like Google Calendar, Microsoft Office Calendar, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and Zoom, to make scheduling easier.
It also integrates with Zapier allowing you to automate repetitive tasks without writing a single line of code. For instance, you can automatically create Google Sheets spreadsheet rows from new bookings in Doodle or post new Doodle events to a Discord server.
Group Polls
What time and date is convenient for everyone? This question often results in endless exchanges, meeting postponements and sometimes exasperation. With the Doodle Group Poll, you can avoid these issues and find a perfect meeting time that works for everyone. Here's how it works:
Create a poll and name the event. For example, "status update meeting".
State when you're available.
Invite participants.
You can also set a poll deadline and add the meeting details to get everyone on the same page. Once participants receive your invite, they'll just need to pick a time and the most voted time slot will automatically become the meeting time.
Additionally, you can keep track of everyone who has voted and send auto-reminders to people who haven't to ensure everyone votes. No more back and forth with people about availability.
