Use Postly to publish native social polls or hosted link polls, distribute them, embed them, and review results.

Create, publish, share, and measure Polls

Postly Polls has one dedicated editor inside Publishing → Polls. The global Create → Poll action opens this same editor.

Native social Polls

Use Native social poll when you want the Poll to live directly on a supported network. Postly currently supports native Poll publishing for:

  • X
  • LinkedIn
  • Threads

Select only supported connected accounts, add two to four unique choices, choose a supported duration, and publish now or schedule through the Poll Editor.

Hosted link Polls

Use Hosted link poll to create a public Postly voting page. Hosted Polls can be distributed through:

  • the device share sheet and shareable apps;
  • direct social and email sharing;
  • Postly's normal scheduler;
  • an active Bio Page;
  • a responsive website iframe;
  • a QR code; or
  • a copied public link.

Results and insights

Open Results & insights from a hosted Poll card to review response totals, option distribution, the leading choice, winning margin, audience concentration, Poll status, and timing.

Percentages on multiple-choice Polls may total more than 100% because one respondent can select more than one option.

Plan access

Eligible paid plans can publish basic native Polls. Hosted Polls, advanced analytics, and related advanced Poll capabilities are available on current Pro and Enterprise plans. LTD and retired legacy plans do not receive advanced Poll capabilities.
