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.
