Creating & Managing Polls

Polls are a quick way to connect with your community and gather their feedback. FluentCommunity lets you create polls right from your feed and collect valuable insights from your members in just a few clicks.

Use Case: You're planning your next live workshop and can't decide on a topic. Post a poll asking members to vote between three options, set an end date, and let the community shape your content calendar for you.

Configure Your Poll

  • Topic Section: Give your poll a topic name.
  • Subject Section: Enter your poll question or any text content you want to share.
  • Topic: If you're creating the poll from within a specific Space, a Topic Add button lets you attach a topic you've previously saved for that Space.
  • Poll Options: Add as many poll options as you like. To remove one, click the cross (X) icon next to it.
  • Add More: Click the Add More button to add another option.
  • Poll Settings: Check the User can choose multiple options checkbox to let members select more than one answer.
  • End Date: Set how long the poll stays open. Click the date field and pick your desired date from the calendar.
  • Select Space: Choose which Space to post your poll in. This option appears only when you create a poll from the Global Feed — it won't show when you start from within a specific Space.
  • Send announcement email to space member: Check this box to email every member of the selected Space when the poll goes live, so no one misses the chance to vote.
  • Post: Click the Post button to publish your poll.
  • Cancel: Click Cancel to discard the poll.
