Polls

Post button polls with live results, one vote per member, and close them on time.

A poll is a message with one button per option. Every member gets one vote, and the message shows live counts with a percentage bar for each option. A poll can close by itself after a set time, or stay open until staff end it.

Create a poll

  1. Run /poll create title:Movie night question:Which movie on Friday? option1:Dune option2:Alien. Add up to five options (option3 to option5), each up to 80 characters.
  2. Add channel: to post it somewhere else (the bot needs View Channel, Send Messages and Embed Links there) and duration: to close it automatically, for example 30m, 2h or 3d (1 minute to 30 days).
  3. The bot replies (only to you) with the poll number and a link to it.

Creating and ending polls needs the Manage Messages permission. Whoever created a poll can also end it.

How voting works

  • Press an option to vote. Only you see the confirmation.
  • Press a different option to move your vote there.
  • Press the option you voted for to get a Remove your vote button.
  • When a poll ends, its buttons disappear and the message shows the final results, with a 🏆 next to the winning option.

End a poll or see the results

/poll end poll: closes a poll now and /poll results poll: shows its current or final results (and your own vote) privately. For poll, paste the poll message’s link (right-click the message → Copy Message Link), its message ID, or its number such as #12. A poll with an end time closes on time even if the bot was restarting: the end time is saved, and the bot closes any poll whose time has passed as soon as it is back.

On the dashboard

Open Plugins → Polls to post a poll to any channel, list all, open or ended polls, see each poll’s results and its entries (who voted for what, and when) and end an open poll.

Quick reaction polls

/poll quick still posts the simple poll members answer with number reactions (no saved results). With the prefix, ,poll "Best food?" Pizza Pasta keeps posting a quick poll.
