Save money on Doodle

Scheduling is one of the most overlooked time drains in film and television production. Locking a table read, organizing a production meeting with department heads, coordinating a tech scout with location owners, or finding a callback slot that works for cast, director, and producer all require the same back-and-forth that Doodle eliminates. Doodle is a scheduling coordination tool that lets you propose multiple time options, send a single link to all participants, and see availability at a glance without a chain of email replies.

For producers and production coordinators managing a high volume of scheduling tasks across a production, Doodle's basic poll format is immediately useful. Create a meeting poll with several time options, share the link with all attendees, and see a visual grid of who is available when. The organizer then picks the slot with maximum availability and sends a calendar invite, replacing what would otherwise be multiple rounds of email.

Doodle's 1:1 booking feature works differently from the group poll, functioning more like a personal scheduling link. Share your availability calendar with a specific person and let them pick a time that works, without revealing your full calendar or requiring you to manually propose slots. For casting directors and producers who schedule frequent one-on-one meetings with talent, agents, and collaborators, this automated booking flow reduces scheduling overhead substantially.

The production use case for Doodle extends beyond internal meetings. When coordinating with external parties who are not on the production's communication tools, a simple Doodle link requires no account creation from the recipient and works from any device. Location owners confirming a tech scout time, talent agents confirming a fitting, or vendor reps confirming a delivery call can all respond without any friction.

Doodle integrates with Google Calendar, Outlook, and Apple Calendar, so confirmed meetings flow directly into the organizer's calendar without manual entry. For productions running tight pre-production schedules where every meeting counts, Doodle removes scheduling friction that would otherwise consume coordinator time.
