Creating a group poll generates a link which must then be shared with your poll participants.

How to share your group poll link

Once you click 'Create and share', you will be brought to a screen that features your newly created group poll link. This is the link that you share with your poll participants. To share your group poll link:

  1. Click 'Copy link'

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

For group poll organizers who do not have a Doodle account

If you close the browser tab that contains the poll link, you can still access it from the 'Go to invite' button in the email that was sent the moment you created your poll. Do not delete this email! If you do not have a Doodle account or if you were not logged into your account when you created the group poll, this email is the only way in which to manage your group poll.


Share via email invitation (requires Doodle Professional):

In addition to sharing the poll link, Doodle Professional users can invite people to participate in their group poll by using Doodle's built-in email feature.

  1. From the Group Poll Summary screen, click 'Show poll details'

  2. Click on 'More'

  3. Click on 'Email invitation'

  4. Enter the emails of your participants

  5. Edit the invitation message if needed

  6. Click 'Send'

Please note: When you email the invitation via Doodle, the sender will always show as 'Doodle' in the invite recipient's inbox. Make sure your invitees know to interact with these emails to respond to your group poll


Voting on someone's behalf in your group poll (requires Doodle Professional):

The ‘Add participant’ feature makes it easy for group poll organizers to vote on someone’s behalf. Please note that the 'Add participant' feature is limited to Doodle Professional users.

Important: Use the ‘Add participant’ feature only when you need to complete the poll on someone’s behalf. Click here to learn more.

Otherwise, use the link sharing or email invitation methods described in this article to invite participants to your poll.
