Meet the Doodle Bot on Slack: Your New Scheduling Sidekick
Picture this: you’re in Slack, typing out a quick “Let’s set up a call” message, and voilà—the Doodle Bot swoops in. No more copy‑and‑paste invites or juggling separate spreadsheets. Doodle’s newest tool, built with Slack’s buzzing Block Kit, lets you schedule, send invites, and lock down the perfect time—right inside your chat.
Why This Is a Game Changer
- Speed & Simplicity – Doodle’s 2018 web platform created 19 million meetings. The Slack version translates that same magic into a single, tidy interface.
- Time‑Saving Power – A Doodle study in 2019 found professionals spending an average of 5 hours chasing invites. The Bot aims to cut that down to minutes.
- Ready for Everyone – Works for Slack teams and guests alike, making collaboration smooth for any party involved.

Type a subject and Doodle Bot will populate the rest—duration, agenda, attachments—all ready to send in a single click.
Smart Scheduling Intelligence
As it learns from your habits, the Bot starts recommending slots that fit your lifestyle. Need to keep those sleepy‑early‑morning hours free? It’ll remember to avoid them.

Product Manager Says It’s a “Scheduling Dream Come True”
“Working with Block Kit was a scheduling dream come true,” says Netali Jakubovitz, Doodle’s product manager. “The Bot will learn from user behavior, saving us all time and energy.”
