As Actioner team we are proud to announce the rollout of the Poll app, which was crafted to simplify and expedite team decision-making within Slack.

Actioner's AI-powered Poll app, seamlessly integrated into Slack, is set to transform team collaboration. This blog focuses on how the Poll app can streamline decision-making processes, ignite engaging discussions, and enhance workflow with minimal effort.

The exploration will reveal the innovative features and advantages that the Poll app brings to the table. 

Let’s get started:

Making polls in Slack is now a breeze

With the Poll app, you can create, manage, and observe your polls without leaving Slack. 

Poll types for every scenario:

The Poll app is easy to use, guiding you seamlessly through crafting polls for any decision-making scenario. Whether it's a lighthearted team vote, a significant business decision, or simply gathering diverse viewpoints, the app allows you to tailor your questions and choices to fit the context.

The app offers four distinct poll types:

Emoji Polls: These polls use emojis as response options, offering a fun and interactive way for participants to express their choices. They're a great fit for adding a playful touch to team decisions.

Numbered Polls: With this type, participants can select from up to five options, each represented by a number. This format is straightforward and effective for decisions with clear, distinct choices.

Select-List Polls: For situations that call for a more extensive array of options, the select-list type provides a dropdown from which participants can choose. This ensures a detailed and thoughtful selection process.

Free-form Polls: When the feedback needed is more open-ended or when diverse perspectives are sought, free-form polls allow participants to type in their responses. This type is particularly valuable for gathering in-depth insights and varied viewpoints.

Each poll type is designed to align with the nature of the inquiry, providing a suitable format, whether the need is for concise options or broad, qualitative feedback.

Effortless polling with ready-to-use templates:

With the Poll App's selection of pre-designed poll templates, you can easily find the right fit for common workplace scenarios, from performance assessments to policy discussions. These templates are inspired by the most popular polls in Slack workspaces, aiming to make your polling process seamless and efficient.

If the existing templates don't fully meet your unique company needs, the app also offers the option to add a custom poll template. Once you have created a poll from scratch, you can save it as a template anytime.

Poll results at a glance: Dynamic real-time views:

The Poll App enables you to monitor the outcomes of your polls in real-time, regardless of whether the poll is still open. It provides three distinct viewing options to analyze the data:

• Response distribution view: Gain insights into your poll's performance through a pie chart that breaks down the collected responses.
• Engagement view: Understand participant engagement with a comparative pie chart distinguishing respondents from non-respondents.
• Detailed results view: Examine a comprehensive table that displays each poll option alongside the number and percentage of votes it received, as well as the specific individuals who selected each option

Multiple response flexibility

You can enable the option to select multiple choices in your poll at any time. Your coworkers can choose several options when one answer doesn't cover it or when you're looking for varied responses.

Scheduled Poll timings

You can set exact start and end times for each poll, aligning with your specific timing requirements and convenience, a particularly handy feature during busy workdays.

Enhanced privacy with anonymous Polls

We understand the need for discretion with sensitive subjects. Poll app allows anonymous responses to encourage candid participation. So that you can safeguard the privacy of your colleagues. Everyone can express their thoughts freely without concern for their identity, thus fostering an atmosphere of trust and openness.

AI-generated polls within Slack

Actioner's AI capabilities make poll creation in Slack a breeze. Poll by Actioner gets activated by sending a message starting with poll/ followed by your question. 

For instance, typing "poll/ What type of pizza should we order?" prompts the app to listen, construct potential answers, and set up the poll automatically.

Poll’s intuitive design requires only a quick review from you before the poll is ready to be shared. It's a seamless transition from a simple inquiry to a ready-to-go poll, with the AI handling all the intricacies.

Pricing: All for free

Actioner Poll is entirely free to use within all Actioner plans. All you need to do is to install Poll by Actioner from the Slack app directory - no credit card required.
