Doodle product overview

Doodle is a scheduling tool that simplifies setting meetings and events with clients, colleagues, or teams. It brings calendar tools that enable users to find the best time for 1:1s and team meetings. The software is suitable for businesses, clubs, or everyone who wants to increase their productivity.

Doodle reduces back-and-forth emails and allows teams to create a poll with all the date/time options. It also has a Bookable Calendar feature that lets users automate schedules, saving time and effort. Users can choose their preferences and schedule the most convenient date for everyone within minutes.

The software has plans for individual users, small teams, and whole companies.

Breakdown of core features

Booking page

Doodle’s Booking Pages streamline taking bookings directly on the calendar. Users only need to share their links, and the Booking Page will send reminders to colleagues so they don’t forget their booking. Rather than coordinating with clients, organizations can send the Booking Page and let them pick their preferred time.

Request contact information

The system will automatically ask for participant names and email addresses when they book a meeting. This way, users can always get back in touch with poll participants if necessary. In addition, when users create 1:1s or booking pages, they can add custom questions that participants must answer when they schedule a meeting.

Group poll

Group polls eliminate juggling complex schedules. Additionally, this feature allows businesses to send people a set of times and see which one works best for the event. Teams can send Group Polls to anyone and let them participate—with or without a Doodle account.

Customized branding

The software empowers account owners to make meetings look more professional by adding a company logo and background picture to their Doodle page. Moreover, managers can customize the look of their account by choosing a link that redirects to their webpage and selecting an appropriate brand color.
