Where should you go for your team-building day? And most importantly, should you order a sandwich buffet, pizza or sushi for lunch? Reactions, reminders and some handy apps can help you create polls in Slack.
 

Conduct a poll with emoji reactions

Emoji reactions are great for a quick poll. Simply pop your question into a channel and ask members to respond with an appropriate emoji.

Tip: Holding Shift and pressing Enter will create a new line in your message without posting it in channel. Learn more about formatting your messages. 

Use reminders for recurring polls

If you need to hold a poll on a regular basis, setting a recurring reminder in a channel could be just the thing for you.

Use the /remind command to set the reminder from anywhere in Slack, e.g. /remind #team-lunch to vote for 🍣 | 🍕 | 🌮 every Tuesday at 11:45

Try a polling app

If you’d like to add a polling app to your workspace, search for polls or votes in Slack’s App Directory. With many of these apps, you can create new polls by entering a basic /poll slash command.
