Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before installing.

Is VoteGenerator for Slack free?
Yes — free to install, includes 3 polls with no expiry. Upgrade to Pro ($19/mo flat) for unlimited polls, all 12 templates, anonymous polls, scheduled recurring surveys, and AI poll generation.
How do I create an anonymous poll in Slack?
Type /poll anon "Question?" "Option 1" "Option 2" or select "Anonymous Poll" from the poll type dropdown when using the /poll form. Voter identities are hidden at the server level, not just in the UI. Requires Pro plan.
Do voters need a Slack account?
No. Voters click "Vote Now" and vote in their browser — no Slack account, no app, no signup of any kind. Works for external participants too, making it great for customer surveys.
How do I close a poll in Slack?
Type /poll close in any channel. VoteGenerator closes the poll and automatically posts final results to the channel. You can also close from the admin dashboard link that was DM'd to you when the poll was created.
Can I schedule a recurring standup poll?
Yes. Type /poll schedule standup every monday 9am — that's it. Your timezone is auto-detected from Slack. The poll fires every Monday at 9am, auto-closes 4 hours later, and posts final results. Week-over-week trends are tracked automatically. Requires Pro plan.
How is VoteGenerator different from Polly?
VoteGenerator charges $19/mo flat regardless of team size. A 50-person team pays $19/mo on VoteGenerator vs $100+/mo on Polly. VoteGenerator also includes a full web platform for non-Slack polls, AI poll generation (Polly doesn't have this), and custom bot branding.
How does /poll ai work?
Type /poll ai "describe your poll" — for example /poll ai "team morale check after big launch". AI generates a professional question with balanced options and suggests the right poll type. A review modal opens so you can edit anything before it posts to the channel. Requires Pro or Business plan.
Can I use VoteGenerator outside of Slack?
Yes — votegenerator.com is a full standalone polling platform. Create polls from the web, embed them on websites, share via email or WhatsApp, generate QR codes, and access full analytics. Your Slack polls also have a full web admin dashboard.
How do I get poll results in Slack?
Type /poll results to post current standings to the channel. Your admin link (DM'd when you created the poll) links to the full web dashboard with charts, timeline, and CSV export. Closing a poll with /poll close auto-posts final results.
Can multiple people manage a poll?
The person who creates a poll gets the admin link in their DMs. Business plan users can use /poll admin add @user to grant workspace admin access, allowing others to view all polls and export results. The admin link can also be shared directly for a specific poll.
Is my team's data private?
Yes. VoteGenerator is privacy-first — vote data is not sold or shared. Voter identities are never exposed to channel members (only to the poll admin). Anonymous polls are enforced server-side. You can request data deletion at any time.
How do I link my Pro account to Slack?
After installing VoteGenerator in Slack, visit /slack/connect and enter your dashboard token (found in your VoteGenerator dashboard URL after ?t=). Your workspace will be upgraded to Pro within seconds and you'll get a confirmation DM.
