The fastest workflow
- Propose 5–10 candidate days (not “any time next month”)
- Share one poll link
- Ask for Yes/Maybe/No votes by a deadline
- Pick the day with most Yes and announce it
For larger groups
Expect more “Maybe”. Choose a day that maximizes Yes and is acceptable for key attendees.
Close the loop
Once you pick the day, post the final date in the same thread/channel. A clear decision beats a perfect decision.
If results are messy
- Shorten the range and re-run (3–7 best candidates)
- Or pick the top day and ask for exceptions (“reply if you can’t make it”)
Reminder cadence
One reminder halfway + one “last call” message is usually enough. More pings don’t improve quality, only noise.
One message you can copy
“Please vote by Wed. We’ll pick the top day and confirm in chat.”
