We’re pleased to offer a robust polling feature that now allows you to create and send multi-answer polls to your contacts. Let’s dive in and explore what they are, how to configure them, and how to get the most out of this powerful new tool.

What are Multi-Answer Polls?

A multi-answer poll is a poll that allows recipients to select more than one answer from a list of possible options. This is particularly useful when you want to gather feedback on multiple date options or when you need to better understand the nuances of your team’s opinion. With Connect Rocket, you can create multi-answer polls with ease, giving you the flexibility to gather the insights you need for tasks like selecting the best date for recertification training or finding personnel to fill critical overtime shifts.

Configuring and Using Multi-Answer Polls

Configuring a multi-answer poll is easy and straightforward. To get started, follow these simple steps or visit our support site:

1. Create a new poll.
2. Add your poll question.
3. Set a duration for your poll.
4. Enable the option to allow poll recipients to select multiple answers.
5. Create all of your poll answers.

Once you’ve created your multi-answer poll, it’s time to send it to your recipients. Connect Rocket makes it easy to distribute your poll via push notification, text message, email and even text-to-voice. When recipients receive your poll, they’ll be able to select multiple answers from the options you’ve provided. As is the case with single-answer polls, you can monitor results in realtime and you team can change their answers, as long as the poll remains open.

What Recipients See

When recipients receive a multi-answer poll, they’ll see a list of answers that you’ve created. They can then select the answer(s) they want to submit, and their answer will be recorded in real-time, just like single-answer polls.

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Multi-Answer Polls

Keep it concise: Keep your poll question and answers clear and concise to ensure recipients understand what you’re asking.

Use relevant options: Make sure your answers are relevant to the question you’re asking to ensure recipients can provide accurate feedback.

Set a relevant duration: Set a duration that coincides with the question being asked.

Analyze your results: Take the time to analyze your poll results to gain valuable insights into your team’s opinions or availability. If you’re working with a larger dataset, remember you can always export your poll data for review in your preferred spreadsheet tool.

By following these tips, you’ll be able to gather valuable feedback and insights from your team. Multi-answer polls are a powerful tool to have in your arsenal and are available in all Connect Rocket accounts. We hope you can put them to good use.
