Community

Polls

Create native Discord polls, follow voting, and manage the full draft-to-results workflow.

Updated October 21, 20261 min read

Getting started

1

Set creation rules

Open Polls and review the member creation permissions and defaults before allowing community polls.

2

Prepare a draft

Choose a channel, question, answers, duration, and whether members can select multiple answers. Review the draft before publishing.

3

Publish explicitly

Publish sends the native poll to Discord. Members vote on the Discord message.

4

Follow results

Refresh results, filter open or closed polls, and archive finished records. If delivery is uncertain, inspect the Discord channel before taking another action.

Settings reference

Use this reference when you need to check what a setting does.

Draft

Saved poll configuration that has not been published.

Multiple answers

Allows more than one selection when configured before publication.

Duration

Determines when native Discord voting closes.

Attention

Publication or synchronization needs review before another action.

How it works

Here’s what happens once you’ve finished setup.

  1. 1
    Staff

    Creates and reviews a draft.

  2. 2
    Discord

    Publishes the native poll and collects votes.

  3. 3
    Dashboard

    Synchronizes results and retains the archived record.

Example

EXAMPLE
Community game night

Draft a poll with three games in a private test channel, publish, cast a vote in Discord, then refresh results before using it publicly.

Troubleshooting

Poll publication is uncertain

Inspect the target channel and synchronize before retrying; a network timeout does not prove nothing was sent.

Voting has ended

Check the poll's expiration and closed state.
