Did you know you do not need an account to begin enjoying the benefits of scheduling with Doodle? Even unregistered users can access some of Doodle’s scheduling features.

How to use Doodle without an account

Unregistered Doodle users can:

  • Participate in any Doodle sent to you by an event organizer

  • Create group polls without an account

Create a group poll without a Doodle account

From www.doodle.com, click 'Create a Doodle'

Provide meeting information

  1. Provide your name and email.

    1. This is very important! The only way you can manage your poll is by accessing your poll link, which we will send to your email after you create and share your group poll.

  2. Set the Title, Description, and Location of your meeting

Add your times

  1. Select the duration of the times you would like to select.

  2. Check your time zone at the top right corner.

  3. Click anywhere on the calendar to create time slots.

Good to know:

  • Unregistered poll organizers are limited to no more than 20 time slots.

  • The 'Custom' duration selection is limited to a range of 5 minutes to 24 hours, and events cannot span two or more calendar dates.

Click 'Create and share'

Click 'Create and share' to finalize your group poll.

Share your group poll invitation

Now it is time to invite your participants. All Doodle users can send their group poll invitation using the 'Copy link' button.

Share with link sharing:

  1. Click 'Copy link'

  2. Paste the poll link into an email, or share it via Slack, WhatsApp, Microsoft Teams and many other applications.

Once you have the votes you need, finalize your group poll by selecting the date and time that works best and click 'Book it'. Read about selecting the final option here.
