Create a poll

Polls are a quick, focused way to collect feedback from your team without the complexity of a full survey. Unlike surveys, a poll contains a single question with multiple-choice answers, making it easy for employees to respond and for managers to gather rapid insight. You can configure the audience, timing, anonymity settings, and whether employees can see results after voting.

Start from: The Engagement dashboard.

• Navigate to Push surveys & polls.
• Select + Add new and then select Poll from the dropdown menu.

Step 1: Setup

• Enter a Name for the poll. This is required.
• Optionally, add a Description and upload a Cover image (JPG, JPEG, or PNG).

• Enable Hide other answers if you want to prevent employees from seeing other responses before submitting their own.
• Set an Estimated time in minutes to indicate how long the poll takes to complete.
• Under Timing, set a Start date and End date to define the period in which the poll will be active.
• Under Notifications, enable Email or Notification Push to alert your audience when the poll goes live.
• Set a Reminder before the end date if you want employees to receive a reminder a set number of days before the poll closes.

• Enable Anonymous if you want responses to be submitted anonymously.
• Under Audience, select the employees who will receive the poll. You can filter by Level, Job Title, or Department, add specific individuals in Additional employees, or upload a list using File upload.

Note: At least one Employees by Level value is required before you can proceed.

• Select Next to move to Step 2: Content.

Step 2: Content

• Enter a Title for the section and, optionally, a Description. Toggle Hide title if you do not want the section title to be visible to respondents.
• Under Questions, enter the Title of your poll question and an optional Description.
• Select Load an image to attach an image to the question if needed.
• Under Options, enter the answer choices. Select + New option to add additional options.
• Select Save to publish the poll.

Note: A poll supports exactly one question. If you need to collect responses to multiple questions, create a push survey instead.
