Boomerang Launches Meeting Poll, the Cleanest Way to Schedule Group Meetings

Boomerang’s new Meeting Poll eliminates the chaos of group scheduling with an ad-free, Inbox-native experience.

Boomerang, the pioneer of productivity tools for email management and meeting scheduling, today announced the launch of Meeting Poll, a convenient new group scheduling feature that is built directly into users’ Inboxes.

Meeting Poll simplifies scheduling a group meeting, eliminating endless back-and-forth messages by empowering event organizers to invite participants to vote on the best times to meet. Organizers create and share Meeting Polls in just a few clicks, and they can connect multiple calendars to avoid conflicts at a glance. They have the option to invite participants by sending a Magic Live Poll, which uses Boomerang’s patented technology to provide an always-up-to-date preview of dates and times directly inside an email. Once participants have voted, selecting a time and sending invites is as simple as a click for the organizer. Boomerang can also book the meeting and send invites automatically, depending on the organizer’s preference.

Unlike legacy scheduling platforms that bombard participants with ads and require a separate login that interrupts users’ workflow, Boomerang's Meeting Poll is integrated inside Gmail (with Outlook coming soon), offering a seamless, professional, ad-free experience for organizers and participants alike.

“People have been asking us for a group scheduling tool that’s as easy as our one-on-one scheduling features for both organizers and their guests, and we delivered exactly that with Meeting Poll,” said Aye Moah, CEO of Boomerang. “Meeting Poll is frictionless and distraction-free for everyone involved.”

Meeting Poll expands Boomerang’s suite of scheduling tools, making it more convenient for users to schedule group events such as board and committee meetings, task force and working group check-ins, and get-togethers among friends like book clubs and dinner parties. Boomerang’s other scheduling features include Bookable Schedule, for people who have lots of meetings to share their availability over and over; Suggest Times, to share options for one-off meetings; and Share Free/Busy, for sharing availability on your calendar with an external party while protecting your privacy. Boomerang’s scheduling tools stand apart from competitors thanks to the patented Magic Live Calendar and Magic Live Poll, a live, up-to-date display of meeting options that appears as an image in the recipient’s email inbox and refreshes every time they open the email.

The launch of Meeting Poll positions Boomerang as the best alternative tool for group polls and the best alternative for team scheduling, offering seamless email integration and a cleaner, ad-free experience that helps organizers get responses faster — all within the tools users already rely on.
