Frequently asked questions
What is Boomerang's Meeting Poll feature?
Meeting Poll is a simple, efficient way to schedule meetings with multiple people, without the hassle of emailing or texting back and forth. Instead of asking “When works for everyone?” and hoping for the best, you can send a poll with multiple time slots straight from your email (or text a link, if that’s how you roll). Participants vote on the options that work for them, and when you’re ready to lock in a time, Boomerang will create a calendar invite and send it to your guests in one click. It’s designed to make group scheduling faster, less frustrating, and completely integrated with Gmail or Outlook.
Can I use Boomerang Meeting Poll with my existing email account?

How do I create a Meeting Poll?
Creating a Meeting Poll takes just a few clicks, and it’s built right into your email. Start by composing a message like usual. Then click the Meet option in the Boomerang menu and select Meeting Poll. You’ll see your calendar and can choose the time slots you want to offer. Add a meeting location, notes, or any relevant details if you’d like. When you share the poll in an email email, your participants can vote with a single click—no account or login required. Boomerang also provides a link for you to share via text or social media message.
Do participants need a Boomerang account to vote?
Nope, no account or login required. People don’t need a Boomerang account, browser extension, or app to participate in your poll. They simply select the times that work for them and submit their votes. It works on desktop and mobile, in any browser. This frictionless experience means you won’t have to chase people down or explain how to use another tool. It’s fast, intuitive, and built for inclusivity—whether you're polling coworkers, clients, contractors, friends and family, or anyone else.
Is Meeting Poll free to use?
Yes! Meeting Poll is available on Boomerang’s free Basic plan.
Does Boomerang Meeting Poll protect my privacy?
Absolutely. Boomerang is built with privacy in mind, and we only make money from paid subscriptions — not from ads or other shady ways of monetizing your data.
What makes Meeting Poll different from tools like Doodle or Calendly?
Boomerang’s Meeting Poll stands out as the best alternative to Doodle or Calendly in a few ways.
One reason people love Boomerang is it’s completely integrated with your existing email workflow: you don’t have to switch platforms or remember another login. You can do everything you need right inside your Inbox, where you already work and communicate.
Plus, Boomerang provides the best recipient experience of any scheduling tool. Participants aren’t required to sign up or create accounts, and we don’t bombard them with ads (and never will).
