Organizing anything requires coordinating the participation of a team of people. This article describes tools that you may find useful. In each case, you create an online page that others access to record their availability, choices, or preferences in some way. The advantage over general purpose surveys is that these are purpose-built so you don’t have to do the design work.
Each of these tools generates a link (hypertext link) that you may copy and paste into the text of your Action Network (AN) email or action page.
Sign-up Systems
Availability Tables
Doodle is the one I’m familiar with. You send a link to people you want on you conference call or at your meeting. It offers a choice of dates. People select one or more when they are available. The results are presented in a table so the organizer can choose the one that’s mutually convenient.
Surveys
Although Action Network does have a Forms action that lets you ask questions, it is best reserved for gathering information about the subscribers or volunteers in your list. Survey Monkey, and Google Forms may be better for collecting general information or for the one-off use such as collecting evaluations of an event.
