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
- Run
/poll create title:Movie night question:Which movie on Friday? option1:Dune option2:Alien. Add up to five options (option3tooption5), each up to 80 characters. - Add
channel:to post it somewhere else (the bot needs View Channel, Send Messages and Embed Links there) andduration:to close it automatically, for example30m,2hor3d(1 minute to 30 days). - 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.
/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.
