The Email Scheduling Nightmare
"Hey team, when works for everyone to sync up this week?"
"I'm free Tuesday afternoon or Thursday morning"
"Tuesday doesn't work for me. Friday?"
"I'm OOO Friday. What about Wednesday?"
"Sorry just seeing this - what times are still being considered?"
This chaos happens because everyone is responding in sequence instead of all at once. A poll fixes this.
The Better Way
"Hey team, vote on when you're free: [shareaslot link]"
"Everyone voted! Thursday at 2pm works for all. Meeting sent."
One message. One link. Everyone votes in parallel. Done in hours, not days.
Why Polls Beat Emails
Parallel vs. Sequential
With emails, each person responds one at a time, creating a chain. With a poll, everyone votes simultaneously. What takes days becomes hours.
Clear overview
No more scrolling through email chains to piece together who said what. The poll shows everyone's availability in one clear view.
Lower friction
Voting takes 10 seconds. Writing an email takes minutes. People are more likely to respond quickly when it's easy.
Frequently Asked Questions
