What are Polls?

You can use polls when you send notifications to gather responses from recipients.

Polls are created in advance and stored in a library which you can access on demand. Polls can be added to an outbound notification, whether triggered manually or through a workflow.


Polls are comprised of:

  • Poll name.
  • Poll question.
  • A time frame for which a poll will remain 'open' and able to collect responses.
  • Poll Answers.

Polls can be responded to be several methods:

  • Via the Notification page of the Teams mobile app.
  • Via email.
  • Via telephone keypad (Analog call).
  • Vial the Voice page of the Teams mobile app (VoIP call).

Some examples of events you might want to create a poll for:

  • Checking staff availability.
  • Requesting response status at the outset of an incident.
  • Finding the best day for training.
  • Requesting 'Fit for Duty' status.
