How do I create an online calendar?

You can start your own online calendar here. Fill in the title of your meeting, the location and any notes you may have.

Select times for your meeting from the week view or the month view. It’s best to choose a few options to increase the likelihood that you can find a time for everyone. You can also choose text if you’d like to create a free text poll and collect votes on anything you like.

On the settings page, you can add options like ‘yes, no, if-need-be’, limit the number of votes per option, or hidden poll. There are many more options for Doodle Premium users.

Enter your email address and send out your meeting invitations to your clients, colleagues, or your team. Sit back and let everyone vote on options for the meeting. In minutes (or seconds) you’ve found the time that’s best for everyone.
