Poll the Crowd
No date yet? Offer a few days and let your guests weigh in.
Create the event before the date is settled. Offer two to ten days, let the people you ask say which work, then commit the winner. Guests can answer straight from their email.
How it works
Offer the days
Pick who to ask and add two to ten options.
Everyone answers
Works, if needed, or can't. Right from the link.
Commit the winner
See the counts, choose the day, set the time.
Some plans start with a group and no date. Poll the Crowd lets you create the event anyway: on the "Who & when" step, choose Poll the Crowd instead of picking a date, pick the people you want to ask, and offer between two and ten options — a day, or a day with a specific time. The event exists from that moment, with the date marked as still being decided.
Everyone you asked answers each day with works, if needed, or can't — from the app if they have an account, or straight from the emailed link if they don't. You see the answers add up per day in the same style as calendar availability, and when a winner is clear you commit it (and set the time) and the event becomes an ordinary dated event: the decided date is what gets announced, and everyone who answered is already on the guest list.
- Answers are collected for this one event and shown to its host as per-day counts. Nobody's calendar is read to answer a poll — a typed answer is exactly that, and it always wins over anything a connected calendar suggests.
- Guests without an account answer through a private link in their email. They are never asked to sign up to say which days work.
- MyOwnEvents only ever looks at polls in aggregate — never at who said what about a particular day.
Nobody ever sees your calendar — only whether you’re free or busy
Across every MyOwnEvents feature, your event titles, your guests, and your locations stay private. When we help you and your friends find a time, others see only whether you are free or busy — never the event details behind it. Your raw calendar events are never sold, never used for ads, and never sent to AI. Our scheduling assistant uses only the overall picture (like how many invitees are free at a given time) to suggest times — and that is never used to train AI models.
