Finding an agreeable date and time for a meeting between a few people can be tricky. Arranging meetings with large groups of people, even in Doodle, is a nightmare.

Thanks to Google Contacts and Shared Contacts for Gmail®, you can now access all the Google contacts shared within your organization directly from your Doodle interface. This makes scheduling meetings with numerous users an absolute breeze.

For instance, let’s say you need to organize a meeting with the American affiliates and your company’s African distributors. Michael, your colleague, maintains these contact lists.. You will now be able to find them all in Doodle from the labels “America” and “Africa” that Michael shared with you.

Troubleshooting

It’s possible that you still can’t access the shared contact labels from Doodle. In this case, make sure you enabled the “Mobile & Outlook” toggle.

We highly recommend making sure the Mobile and Outlook toggle is always selected. Activating the toggle ensures your shared contacts are synced to your general Google Contacts. This makes your shared labels visible. As a result, it makes integrations with Doodle and other various apps hassle-free.
