Type /poll. Your team does the rest.

One slash command covers the questions teams ask every day. Votes land in the channel, next to the conversation that raised them.

Settle the big ones with ranked choice

Four good options, one fair winner. Everyone ranks their preferences; Simple Poll tallies the ranking and reveals the result when the poll closes.

/poll "Where should the summer offsite be? 🌍" "Lisbon" "Barcelona" "Prague" "Amsterdam" ranked

Closed ranked-choice Slack poll on where the summer offsite should be, with the final ranking revealed and Lisbon in first place

Start the list, let the team finish it

Seed a few options and let voters add their own, right in the channel. The winning name is usually one nobody started with.

/poll "What should we name the new meeting room?" "The War Room" "Deep Work" "The Aquarium" allow options limit 1

Slack poll naming the new meeting room where voters can add their own options, one vote per person

Check-ins that run themselves

Post it once, then set it recurring: it reposts itself every day, week, or month. Standups, retros, and end-of-day check-ins without anyone remembering to ask.

/poll "Sprint 24 demo: is your feature ready?" "✅ Done" "🔨 In progress" "🚫 Blocked"

Slack status poll asking if features are ready for the sprint demo: done, in progress, or blocked

Simple, yet powerful

A whole poll is one line of text: your question, options in quotes, and modifiers that change how it behaves.

/poll "Pineapple on pizza? 🍍" your question "Obviously yes" an option "Absolutely not" another option anonymous honest answers limit 1 one vote each allow options voters add their own hide results no bandwagons close after 1 day closes itself

Click a modifier and the poll changes shape:

It's a real command in every combination: copy it, paste it into Slack, and that exact poll appears. The full grammar, every modifier and question type, is in the docs.

Agent-native

Your agent can use Simple Poll end-to-end. Create polls, analyze results, act on the answers.

For your AI agent

Simple Poll lets you post polls to Slack and read the results, useful when you need input from humans.

Create a poll:
POST https://simplepoll.rocks/api/v1/polls/
Authorization: Bearer $SIMPLE_POLL_API_KEY
{"channel_id": "C0123456789", "text": "\"Ship the release today?\" \"Yes\" \"Hold until Monday\" anonymous"}

The text field uses the same grammar humans type after /poll: a question in quotes, options in quotes, then modifiers. The full grammar:

Types: ranked · scale · short text · q&a
Modifiers: anonymous · limit 1 (or limit N votes per person) · allow options (voters add their own) · hide results (revealed when the poll closes) · show results to creator · order by votes · close after 1 day (or minutes/hours: close after 30 mins) · schedule 9am (or: schedule tomorrow 3pm) · remind 1 hour after posting · remind 30 mins before closing · optional (that question can be skipped) · no preview
Mentions: @here, @channel, or a person anywhere in the text notifies them when the poll posts.
Surveys: separate multiple questions with ---.
