Learn how to schedule group events and polls in Mixmax for easy and efficient communication with colleagues and friends.

Updated over 6 months ago

Polls & Surveys are available on all Mixmax plans, including the Free plan, but some options, like compiled Polls results, are available only on the Mixmax Growth plan and above. Check out our pricing page for more information.

Currently, Group Event Poll is not supported for Outlook-based users. To learn more about the Mixmax integration with Outlook, check out How to use Outlook with Mixmax.

Our Group Scheduling enhancement allows you to easily schedule meetings with multiple people. With a group event poll, you can ask business partners, colleagues, or friends for their availability directly over email. When they respond, you can schedule your event directly on your Google Calendar within seconds.

To schedule a group event, hover over the Mixmax icon in the bottom right of the compose window and click Group Event Poll.

You can also use the /group shortcut to start a group scheduling poll.

Next, fill out the event details (title, location, description, and time zone). Then, pick dates and times for your recipients to choose from. When you're done, click Insert Event Poll at the bottom to put the poll directly in your Mixmax email.
