Welcome to Doodle 1:1!

1:1 is Doodle’s person-to-person meeting scheduling solution. In this article, we will cover the basic steps for creating, sharing, and tracking your 1:1. In addition to this introduction, we have a large collection of comprehensive articles to help you get the most out of Doodle.

Creating your 1:1

Creating your 1:1 is easy and only takes a minute! There are four main steps:

  1. Enter the basic 1:1 details, like the name of the event and location

  2. Propose dates and times for the event

  3. Propose any questions you need answered before the meeting is booked

  4. Share the 1:1 to begin collecting enrollment

Enter the event details

Let your audience know about the event by providing a name for the event, a brief description of the event, and the location. You can even meet virtually using Google Meet, Zoom, or Webex!

Propose times to meet

First, choose how long you want the event to be, then click into the calendar grid to set the times you will propose to your audience. You can even integrate your calendar to show when you are busy and when you are free. Connecting your calendar will always be totally free.

Ask custom questions

Need crucial information prior to the start of your meeting? Ask custom questions and get the information you need the moment your meeting is booked so that you can arrive prepared and ready to start. With your 1:1 now set up, click 'Create and share'.

Share the 1:1

With your 1:1 created, you are now ready to share the link. Click the ‘Copy link’ button and paste the 1:1 link into an email or share it via text, WhatsApp, and more!

Your audience participates in the 1:1

The people you invite to participate in your 1:1 will click on the link you provide and choose the date and time that works best for them. Responding to a 1:1 only takes a few seconds, so you will quickly end the email back-and-forth and get the right time booked the first time.

This is an example of the 1:1 participation experience:

Keep track of your 1:1 enrollment

You can quickly and easily track your 1:1 enrollment directly from your Doodle dashboard.

That’s it!

Each person who signs up for a 1:1 will automatically receive an email with all the information they need to show up on time and prepared. And if you connect your calendar, we will include a calendar event invite that they can add to their own calendar.

Benefits of 1:1

  • 1:1 leaves you in full control of your calendar. Only the time slots that you offer will be presented to your 1:1 participants.

  • If you connect your calendar to your Doodle account, your calendar will be instantly updated with all event details once a time slot is booked.

  • When someone selects a proposed time, it is removed from the option array - ensuring you will not be double-booked.

  • 1:1 eliminates the email back-and-forth with guests or potential clients to find a time to meet, making it faster or easier to book events with whomever you might need to meet with.
