Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Timergy Tools (22)

create_poll

Create a Timergy scheduling poll (like Doodle) where participants vote on preferred time slots. Provide a title and at least 2-5 time slot options with ISO 8601 date-times (include timezone, e.g. 2026-03-20T18:00:00+02:00 or use UTC with Z suffix). Returns a shareable URL to send to participants and a passphrase for admin access. The passphrase is automatically remembered for finalize_poll. If an API key or OAuth token is configured, the poll is created on the user's account instead (no passphrase; update_poll, invite_to_poll, list_my_polls and finalize work via the same auth). Set autoFinalize=true with a deadline to automatically pick the best option when the deadline passes. Use invitees to send email invitations with direct voting links. Workflow: create_poll -> share URL -> wait for votes -> get_results -> finalize_poll (or use auto-finalize).

get_poll

Get poll metadata and time slot options (but NOT votes). Returns title, status, deadline, location, and all available time slots with their option IDs. Use this to retrieve optionId values needed for vote_on_poll or finalize_poll. To see who voted, use get_results instead.

vote_on_poll

Submit votes on a Timergy poll. First call get_poll to retrieve the available optionId values. Each vote maps an optionId to an availability: 'yes' (available), 'maybe' (might work), or 'no' (unavailable). A unique voter token is auto-generated per voter name. Resubmitting with the same voter name updates previous votes.
