How to add a participant to your group poll

The ‘Add participant’ feature makes it easy for group poll organizers to vote on someone’s behalf.

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

Use the ‘Share invite’ or 'Copy link' button to share the poll with participants who will vote for their own availability. Click here to learn more.
