👋 Welcome to Doodle Sign-up Sheets!
Organizing an event, whether it's a small team meeting or a large-scale workshop, can be a logistical nightmare. Good news: Doodle’s Sign-up Sheets are here to help!
How do Sign-up Sheets work?
As the Sign-up Sheet organizer, you select the exact days, times, and maximum enrollment for each session you are organizing. Share your Sign-up Sheet link and invite participants to choose which session or sessions they will attend. Doodle will send everyone all the information they need to arrive on time and at the right place.
What does Sign-up Sheets solve?
Step one: Access the Beta version
You can access the alpha version of Sign-up Sheets directly from your new Dashboard (also in Beta). You will find it under the event types when you click on ‘Create a Doodle’.
Step two: Set the event details
Sign-up Sheets lets you organize a series of online or in-person events.
Title the sign-up sheet and summarize the event.
Write a brief Description of what will be discussed in the meeting. The description will be included in the calendar invite.
Add a Location or host your meetings virtually by enabling Video Conferencing.
When you connect your calendar to your Doodle account and engage it with your sign-up sheet, your participants will receive a calendar invite.

Sign-up Sheets can involve groups or 1-1 sessions. Sessions represent the different time slots or parts of your event.
Set the session details
Set the date, start time, and duration for the session
Provide a description, location, and maximum number of seats available for the session
Repeat steps #1 and #2 for any additional sessions you are organizing
When you connect your calendar and a video conferencing app to your Doodle account and engage both with your sign-up sheet, your participants will receive a unique video conferencing link for each session they enroll in.

Click on “Create a Sign-up Sheet” when done.
Step three: Review, Copy the link and Share
You can review your event sessions on the next page. Double-check that you are happy with your selections. If you need to edit your sign-up sheet, click 'Edit' and refine your sign-up sheet before you send it. Once you are satisfied, you are ready to share the Sheet with your participant.
To share the link, simply click on “Copy link” on the top right corner of this page. You can send the sign-up sheet invitation directly to the participants from Doodle, or you can copy the invitation link and send it from your own email, Slack, WhatsApp, and more!
Note: Your guests do not need to log in to Doodle to sign-up for a session.
Once your Sheet is successfully created, you will receive an email notification. You can use that email to access/review the Sheet. Additionally, you can review the participant list per session with details (like name, email) by clicking on the number of sign-ups per session. Your participants will also receive an email and calendar invite once they sign-up for a session.
