Read responses and schedule the meeting

Open a poll to see who picked which times, then turn the best time into a calendar event.

Before you start

A poll you created, with at least one response.
A Google, Outlook, or iCloud calendar that MiCal can add events to. An ICS feed is read-only and cannot be used.

Select Polls in the sidebar. Each poll shows its status (Open, Closed, or Scheduled), how many times it offers, how many responses it has, and when you created it.
Select the poll's title or View.
Read the grid. Each row is a person under Respondent. Each column is a time, headed by "N of M say yes". A check mark means they picked it and a dash means they did not. A note under a name is that person's comment.
Under the time you want, select Pick this slot.
In the Schedule this slot dialog, choose a calendar under Add the event to, then select Schedule it.

MiCal creates the event with the poll's title, description, and location.
Everyone who gave an email is added as an attendee. They also get an email from MiCal with the time.
On a Google calendar, MiCal adds a Google Meet link if the poll has no location.
The poll's status changes to Scheduled and the chosen column is tagged Scheduled. The poll stops taking answers.

Copy share link and Open public page at the top of the poll send more people to the poll. All polls takes you back to the list.
You can schedule a closed poll. Close voting only stops new answers.
People who answered without an email cannot be invited.
A scheduled poll cannot be scheduled again.
If MiCal cannot create the event, the poll stays open and nothing else changes.
