How do I create an availability poll?

Choose a date range, give the poll a title, and create it. You get a public link to share and a private organizer link to manage responses. It takes about a minute and needs no account.

Do participants need an account?

No. Participants can open the shared link and mark their availability without creating an account. They enter a name, tap the days that work, and submit.

How many people can participate?

There is no participant limit on a poll. A poll can cover a date range of up to 120 days, and each day can have up to 8 time slots.

Can people change their answer later?

Yes. After submitting, each participant gets their own private link they can reopen to update their availability.

Availability poll

Create a free availability poll

An availability poll is the simplest way to find out when a group is actually free. You propose the candidate dates once, everyone answers once, and the answer is a grid instead of an argument.

What goes into a good availability poll

A poll is three things: a clear title, a realistic date range, and a deadline. The title tells people what they are answering for — "Sam's 30th" beats "Poll". The range should be short enough to answer quickly. The deadline stops the poll drifting.

Title and optional note explaining the plan.
A date range of up to 120 days, with optional time slots per day.
An optional response deadline that closes the poll automatically.

Three answers, not two

Every date can be marked available, maybe, or not available. The maybe matters: it is the difference between "I would need to move something" and "impossible", and it is usually what unlocks a date that otherwise looks blocked.

The results grid shows all three states per person per date, and the ranking counts them separately so you can see which dates are solid and which depend on a maybe.

Reading the results

Best dates are ranked by how many people are available, so the top of the list is your answer. Underneath, the full grid shows who said what — useful when the person who has to be there is the one who cannot make the winning day.

Export the grid as CSV or print a clean summary if you need to share it outside the link.

Availability poll vs. availability survey

People search for both, and they mean the same thing here: collecting free/busy answers from a group. The difference from a general survey tool is that the answers are dates, so the tool can do the arithmetic for you rather than handing back raw responses.
