Meeting Polls
Meeting polls let you propose multiple date/time options and have participants vote on their preferred times. Once voting is done, you finalize the winning time and a booking is created.
Creating a meeting poll
- Go to Event Types and click Create.
- Choose the Meeting poll type.
- Configure the poll:
- Name — What participants see (e.g. "Q1 Planning Meeting").
- Options — Add date/time options (date, start time, end time for each).
- Voting deadline — Optional cutoff date for voting.
- Allow "if needed" — Let participants mark options as "if needed" (available but not preferred).
- Auto-confirm — Automatically confirm the most-voted option after the deadline passes.
- Save. The poll gets a unique slug and is available on your public site.
Sharing the poll
Share the poll link with participants: /b/{teamSlug}/poll/{pollSlug}.
Voting
- Participants open the poll link.
- They see the proposed time options and select their preferences (available, not available, or "if needed").
- They submit their vote.
Viewing results
- Route:
/b/{teamSlug}/poll/{pollSlug}/results - See the vote count for each option and who voted for what.
Finalizing
- As the poll owner, review the results.
- Click Finalize to confirm the winning time.
- The app creates a booking for the chosen time and sends confirmations to all participants.
Poll states
- Active — Voting is open. Participants can submit or change votes.
- Expired — The voting deadline has passed and the poll hasn't been finalized. The vote page shows an expiry message.
- Finalized — The poll is closed and a time was confirmed. Participants see a confirmation message.
Where polls appear
In the Event Types list, polls appear under the Meeting polls section. Edit them like other event types — the poll-specific options (time options, deadline, auto-confirm) are in the edit form.
