This section covers creating and sharing polls for scheduling events, designed for anyone organizing meetings, events, or group decisions—such as team leads, event planners, or friends coordinating get-togethers. Polls allow flexible date and time options that adapt to participants’ time zones, with easy sharing via links or embeds. Once created, polls integrate with participant voting and results viewing; for basic setup including your first poll, see Creating Your First Poll. For advanced options like adding more choices, see Adding Poll Options. To invite others, refer to Inviting Participants.

Overview

Creating a poll lets you define an event title, optional description, and multiple date/time slots for voting. The interface provides calendar views for quick selection, automatic time zone handling, and instant generation of shareable links or embeds. Polls are public by default but customizable for privacy and interaction.

The New Poll Screen

Access this screen by clicking New Poll from the main dashboard or navigation bar. You’ll see:

• A prominent Title field at the top.
• An optional Description area below for additional event details.
• A calendar picker with tabs for Month View and Week View to add time slots.
• A toggle for Automatic Time Zone Conversion.
• A Create Poll button at the bottom.

[!NOTE]
The screen adapts to your current time zone but converts times for participants automatically unless disabled.

Poll Data Fields

| Field | Required | Accepted Values | Description | |——-|———-|—————–|————-| | Title | Yes | Up to 100 characters, text only | The poll’s name, shown to all participants and in share links. Changing it updates the poll header instantly. | | Description | No | Up to 500 characters, text with basic formatting | Extra context for voters, like agenda or location. Supports line breaks for readability. |

Adding Date and Time Options

Switch between Month View (for full-day or multi-day selections) and Week View (for drawing specific time slots). Click dates or drag to select ranges—options appear as listed slots below the calendar. Add as many as needed; participants vote by selecting their availability.

[!TIP]
Use Month View for broad date choices and Week View for precise hourly blocks.
