About Doodle
Doodle is an online scheduling tool built around meeting polls. An organizer proposes several possible times, participants indicate which ones suit them, and the group can then settle on a time that works for the most people, avoiding long email threads about availability.
It is delivered as a hosted commercial service rather than software you run yourself. Details such as calendar integrations, booking pages and plan structure should be confirmed on Doodle's own website.
