Major Doodle Integrations

Doodle offers the feature to import multiple outlook.com calendar and google calendar into Doodle. A user needs to go to account settings and click on a new calendar.

Doodle offers users the feature to connect one or more calendars wherein the events sync automatically. The dashboard shows a list of

• The final option for polls that have been closed will be synced

• 1:1 meetings that have booked will sync

• Other bookable calendar events will sync as well.

iCalendar Feed Doodle Integration

One of the most useful features of doodle is to keep the calendar synced. It reflects all the polls and appointments data and status. iCalendar is an IETF standard (RFC 5545) and not the Apple iCal. The user’s personal doodle ICS link can be found in account settings under calendar. As a user you can also reset the calendar feed URL if required.

Embedding Doodle Calendar on a Website

Unfortunately, Doodle does not allow for a feature where a calendar can be embedded. However, Doodle offers a premium, Team and Enterprise subscriptions where a page can be branded.

Apple Calendar Doodle Integration

With the help of ICS feeds one can keep the Apple Calendar in sync with the events on Doodle. To ensure the sync there is a four step process.

1. Copy the personal Doodle ICS link

2. In the apple calendar app, click on File and “New Calendar Subscription”

3. Enter the Doodle ICS link copied and hit subscribe.

4. You have now subscribed to the Doodle Calendar, you can have auto-refresh settings to the frequency you would like to set and other configurations as per your convenience.

The above process will ensure that the Doodle events reflect on your Apple Calendar.

Doodle Zapier Integration

Zapier lets you connect Doodle to multiple SaaS applications through Zaps. It helps you automate your dat-to-day tasks. Zapier acts like a bridge between multiple applications and helps you create custom workflows.

Few of the popular Actions are shown in the image below. A user can choose from multiple applications depending upon his requirement.
