Finding (and agreeing upon) with your group members or colleagues can be one of the most difficult and time-consuming aspects of planning. Fortunately, Doodle eliminates all of the back and forth by allowing your invitees to mark their availability for potential meeting times of your choosing. Once everyone has marked which time slots they’re available, you can then plan a meeting for the time that works best with everyone’s schedule. Best of all, Doodle syncs with your calendar so you don’t need to switch between the two.
