20 Steps
Need to gather team opinions or make quick decisions in Slack? This guide shows you how to easily create engaging polls to get instant feedback. While Slack doesn't have a built-in poll feature, you'll learn the most common and effective methods: using emoji reactions for simple "yes/no" or multiple-choice questions, or integrating a third-party app like Simple Poll or Polly from the Slack App Directory. Discover how these apps allow you to create more complex polls with various question types and anonymity options. It's Thursday evening here in Japan, perfect for boosting team engagement and streamlined decision-making!
