Meeting polls overview

Calendly Meeting Polls let you quickly coordinate availability by allowing invitees to vote on preferred times. Once voting is complete, you can select the best time and Calendly will schedule the meeting.

For example, you can use Meeting Polls for: 

  • A team meeting to catch up and plan next steps.
  • A working session to brainstorm ideas and collaborate.
  • A check-in with stakeholders to get feedback and make decisions.
  • A get-together with friends or family to pick the best time to meet.

How meeting polls work

Who can vote?

Anyone with the link can vote in a meeting poll, even without a Calendly account. While voting, invitees can see which times are most popular and who has responded. Calendly automatically displays times in each invitee’s local time zone.

How do I confirm and schedule a poll?

You can reserve proposed times to keep them available until the meeting is scheduled. After voting ends, choose the best time and add any invitees who didn’t vote. Calendly will then send calendar invites and meeting details to all attendees.

When does a poll close?

A meeting poll stays open until you schedule it, all proposed times pass, or you delete it. Once deleted, the link becomes inactive, and invitees can no longer submit responses.
