Create a poll

You can create all kinds of polls. Combine dates, text, locations, images, limits, free-text inputs, waiting lists and much more.

Title and description

What is your poll about? Add an image, a fixed event date and a location if needed.

Add options

An option is a choice for participants. Choose Date or Text and label it. Use the option menu to add a location, image, limit or free-text input.

Dates and times

Choose Date in the option and select the days in the calendar. Use the clock icon to add a start time and, if needed, an end time. Add more times for several choices on the same day.

Text, location and image

Use Text to label the option. Open the option menu and choose “Add location” for a meeting point. You can combine a date, text and location in the same option.

Choose “Add image” in the menu or tap the camera. Search for an image or upload your own. Each option can have a different image.

Select several files when uploading to create additional options. Give them suitable labels. Tap an image afterwards to replace or remove it.

Two options with different images, their own labels and a limit of ten.

Free text and dropdown lists

Open the option menu and choose “Free text field”. This turns the option into an input field: participants enter an answer instead of just ticking a box.

Choose an input type

Tap “Free text: Arbitrary”. Choose, for example, Name, Email, Phone, Numeric, Keypad, Date, Time, URL or Color. “Arbitrary” accepts a free-text answer. “Private content” hides the field’s content from other participants.

Create a custom list

Choose “Custom list”. Use an existing list or select “Create” and enter a name and the available answers, such as “Vegetarian”, “Vegan” and “Everything”. Saving applies the new list to this option. You must be signed in to create your own lists.

In the finished poll, participants tap the pencil icon to enter an answer or choose a list item.

Just Yes or No?

For a simple RSVP, leave the options empty. Enter the fixed event date in the description area above.

Choose settings

Switch on only what you need.

Maybe, No and quantities

Enable the answers you need under Settings. Maybe appears yellow and counts as a Yes; No appears red. Enable quantities to let participants enter an amount, such as two cakes instead of one.

Selection limits and closed options

Enable selection limits and enter the minimum or maximum number of choices. Set both to one if exactly one choice is required. “Close selected options” instead makes an option unavailable to others after the first Yes reply.

Limits and waiting list

Enable “Limit votes” under Settings and enter a limit. You can adjust the number separately in each option’s grey Limit field. You can also reach it through the option menu → “Limit votes”.

An individual option with an editable limit of ten Yes replies.

An option is full when its limit is reached. Also enable “Waiting list” if more people should be able to wait. Choose automatic promotion, email notifications, and whether positions and waiting status are visible.

Waiting-list settings for promotion, notifications, positions and waiting status.

Anonymous poll

Hide names, votes or comments separately. The additional setting “Also for you and administrators” applies the selected restrictions to the people managing the poll too. Without it, administrators retain access.

See the three visibility examples.
