Polls are a simple but powerful way to involve your community in decisions. Whether you’re choosing between two event dates, asking for feedback on a new idea, or just running a fun question of the week, Apetopia makes it easy to create polls directly from the dashboard.

Creating a poll

  1. Go to Community → Polls
  2. Click New Poll
  3. Enter your question
  4. Add between 2 and 10 answer options
  5. Set an optional end time (polls can also run indefinitely)
  6. Choose the channel where it will be posted
  7. Click Post — the bot sends the poll immediately
Members vote by clicking the reaction that corresponds to their choice. Results update in real time as votes come in.

​
Viewing results

You can see live results for any active poll directly in the Polls dashboard — no need to count reactions manually. Once a poll ends, the final results are saved so you can refer back to them anytime.

Tips

  • Keep poll options short and clear — long text gets cut off in Discord.
  • Set an end time for important decisions so results don’t drag on indefinitely.
  • Share the results with your community after the poll closes. It builds trust and shows you’re listening.
