Polls lets you create native Discord polls directly from the BrewBot dashboard. Post a poll immediately or schedule it for later, then track live results — vote counts and percentages — without leaving the dashboard.

​
Create a poll

1

Open the dashboard

Go to the BrewBot Dashboard and select your server.
2

Navigate to Polls

Open the Polls page from the sidebar.
3

Select a channel

Choose the text or announcement channel where the poll will be posted.

Enter a poll question (up to 300 characters).
5

Add answer options

Add between 2 and 10 answer options. Each option can include an optional custom emoji — paste a custom emoji code (e.g. <:emoji_name:id>) or an emoji name.
6

Configure poll settings

  • Multiple choice — toggle on to let members select more than one answer (off by default)
  • Duration — choose how long the poll stays open: 1 hour, 4 hours, 8 hours, 24 hours, 3 days, or 1 week
7

Post or schedule

Choose Post now to send the poll immediately, or Schedule for later and pick a future date and time. Scheduled polls are posted automatically when the time arrives.

​
Poll statuses

Once created, each poll moves through a lifecycle shown by a color-coded status badge on the dashboard:

​
Manage polls

The dashboard organizes your polls by status — active, scheduled, failed, and history — so you can manage them at a glance.
  • View live results — click a posted poll to see vote counts and percentages for each option in real time
  • End a poll early — close an active poll before its duration expires. The final results are preserved.
  • Cancel a scheduled poll — remove a scheduled poll before it posts to Discord
Once a poll has ended or been canceled, it cannot be restarted. Create a new poll instead.

Permissions required

Make sure the bot has both permissions in the channel you select. If the bot cannot send messages to that channel, the poll will fail and show a Failed status on the dashboard.
