Opening your group poll participation invitation
You will receive an invitation to participate in a group poll in one of two ways:
A link will be provided to you by the event organizer. Usually these links are provided via email, though some organizers will send the link via Slack, WhatsApp, or other web-based communication platforms.
You will receive an email from Doodle inviting you to participate in a group poll. This happens when the event organizer sends the event invitation directly from their Doodle account.
Whether you click directly on the link or launch the invitation sent in the email by Doodle, you will see a confirmation window detailing who has sent the invitation, the name of the event that is being organized, and next steps for participating in the group poll.
Get to know your group poll participation screen
In the participation view, you'll see all the meeting information on the topof the screen. Here you can see who created the poll, where it'll take place, a meeting description, and who else is invited to the poll.
With Group Poll, you can vote on each proposed date and time in three ways:
YES - click one time on the box for this slot
IF-NEED-BE - click two times on the box for this slot
NO - leave the box empty for this slot
Click the checkboxes to indicate your availability.
After you indicate your votes in for each proposed date and time, click 'Continue'. If you'd like to decline the entire group poll, you can either choose not to vote for anything or click "decline". If you click "decline" you will still appear in the poll as a participant that voted "NO" for all time slots.
Finish submitting your group poll response
After selecting your preferred times or declining the group poll, you will need to provide your name and email to the event organizer.
