Proposing Date Options
Learn how to add clear schedule choices, collect votes, and use date options to finalize Event Proposals with confidence.
The Propose Date Options tool allows you to define multiple possible times for an Event Proposal.
Instead of choosing a single time upfront, you give your circle a few options and let them vote on what works best.
Overview
The Propose Date Options tool allows you to define multiple possible times for an Event Proposal.
Instead of choosing a single time upfront, you give your circle a few options and let them vote on what works best.
How It Works
- You create an Event Proposal
- You enable Voting on Dates
- You add multiple date and time options
- Interested members vote on their preferred option
- Once enough votes are collected, a winning time is selected
- The proposal becomes an official Event
Adding Date Options
When using this tool, you can:
- Add multiple date/time choices
- Edit or remove options before voting begins
- Control how many options are presented
Each option should be clear and easy to understand.
Why This Matters
Giving your group options improves participation and reduces friction.
Benefits include:
- Better alignment
- Higher turnout
- Simpler coordination
- Faster decisions
The selected time reflects real availability
More people can attend when they help choose the time
No need for messages or back-and-forth planning
Clear options lead to quicker outcomes
Best Practices
To get the most out of date voting:
- Offer 2-4 options
- Choose realistic time windows
- Keep options distinct
- Think about your group
(Too many choices can slow things down)
Pick times people are likely to be available
Avoid options that are too similar
Weeknights vs weekends, mornings vs evenings
Examples
Dinner Event:
- Friday at 7:00 PM
- Saturday at 6:30 PM
Outdoor Activity:
- Saturday at 10:00 AM
- Sunday at 9:30 AM
Casual Hang:
- Thursday evening
- Friday evening
When to Use This
Use Propose Date Options when:
- You're unsure which time works best
- You want input from your group
- Attendance depends on availability
- You want to maximize participation
When to Skip It
You may not need date options if:
- You already know the exact time
- The event is time-specific
- Coordination is simple
In those cases, you can use a fixed date instead.
Example Flow
You propose "Group Dinner"
You enable Voting on Dates
You add two options: Friday 7pm and Saturday 6pm
Your circle votes
Saturday receives the most votes
The event is scheduled for Saturday
People RSVP
Summary
Proposing Date Options helps you find the best time by involving your group.
It allows you to:
- Offer clear choices
- Gather input easily
- Schedule events with confidence
