/poll create posts a poll in the channel where you run it. question is the poll question (kept to 300 characters). options is a comma-separated list of 2 to 25 answers. multi lets each member vote for more than one option; off by default. anonymous hides the per-option counts while the poll is open; off by default.
The bot applies your Command Access rules and checks that Events is switched on ("Beacon is not enabled for this server."). With fewer than two answers it replies "Need at least 2 options." With more than 25: "Max 25 options (Discord button limit)."
The poll appears as an embed titled "📊 Poll" with the question, a numbered list of options and one button per option, five to a row. The footer shows the poll number, Open or Closed, single-vote or multi-vote, whether it is anonymous, and how many members have voted. Only you see the confirmation "✅ Poll posted (id N)."
Members vote by pressing a button and get a private reply: "✅ Voted for Option." In a single-vote poll pressing another button moves the vote ("Your vote is now Option."). In a multi-vote poll pressing the same button again replies "You already voted for Option." The embed updates after each vote. An anonymous poll shows how many members have voted but no counts per option until it is closed.
Good to know
- A poll created by command has no end time. It stays open until you run
/poll closeor close it from the Polls page on the dashboard. Polls created on the dashboard can be given a closing time. - A member mentioned in the question is pinged once. @everyone, @here and role mentions in the question are not.
- If the bot cannot post in the channel it replies "Created poll id
Nbut posting failed" with the reason. The poll still exists on the dashboard Polls page, where it can be posted to a channel. - Polls belong to Events but are not attached to any event.
