# Group Polls

#### Overview:

Group scheduling, especially across different time zones and availability, can be a daunting task. To help our users ease this process, we're introducing **Group Polls** to Smarty. With inspiration drawn from popular tools like when2meet, our Group Polls feature combines the best of scheduling with a user-friendly drag-and-drop experience.

#### Benefits:

1. **Engaging Drag-and-Drop Interface:** Crafting a group poll is intuitive and quick. Simply drag across the time blocks you're available, and voila! Your availability is captured.
2. **Inclusive Group Decision:** Rather than one person deciding for the group, everyone can input their availability, ensuring that the final meeting time suits the majority, if not all.
3. **Real-Time Availability Updates:** As participants submit their availability, you can see the updates in real-time. This feature allows for dynamic adjustments and quicker decision-making.
4. **Seamless Integration with Smarty Calendar:** Once a common time is chosen, you can automatically schedule the meeting, send out invites, and even integrate with virtual platforms, all from within Smarty.

#### How It Works:

1. **Create a Group Poll:** Define the time frame for which you want to seek availability, whether it's a specific day, week, or even a month.
2. **Invite Participants:** Share the unique poll link with your group via email, social media, or direct messaging.
3. **Vote on Availability:** Each participant drags and selects their available time slots. The consolidated availability of the group gets updated in real-time.
4. **Finalize the Time:** Once all votes are in, easily view the most suitable time for everyone and confirm the meeting.

#### Coming Soon!

We are in the final stages of fine-tuning the Group Polls feature. Our commitment is to deliver an impeccable experience to our users, and we're making sure every detail is perfect. Stay tuned for the official rollout!
