Polls

A poll is the lightest thing you can ask. Where a form has fields, required answers and a Submit button, a poll records an answer the instant someone clicks a button: Satisfied, Yes. Use it for a pulse after the first week, a reaction to an all-hands, or a read on how a change landed.

The Weekly pulse poll editor with a Likert workload question and a free-text question.
Open a poll to edit its questions and answer scale.
  • Fields: a poll uses the same Select Field picker as a form, but nothing can be required and each field is answered on its own. Keep a poll to a Likert Scale or a Checkbox (shown as Yes and No); a Text field is not shown on the poll’s respond page. See Form field types.
  • Publishing: a poll is sent only once published; later edits re-enable Publish.
  • Submissions: each click is recorded against the person and listed, newest first, in the poll’s Activity drawer, with Export to CSV. A poll never triggers an automation.
  • Where it renders: in Slack the buttons are in the message; in email the message carries a button to a respond page with the same buttons.

Open /flows/home in Pyn and select Polls under the Forms group, or open Flows in the primary navigation on the left of every page. Power Users and above create and publish polls and read the results.

Forms, Polls: a table with the Weekly pulse poll and its Publish column, and Add Poll in the top-right corner.
The Polls table lists every poll with whether it is published.
