Step 1
Choose where answers live
Use a native poll when the platform and integration support it, or a hosted poll for a shareable destination.
Polls
Ask a clear question. Give your audience a simple way to answer.
Create a supported native platform poll or a hosted poll with a shareable link. Keep question design, distribution, and response review in the right workflow.
For creators and teams gathering preferences, planning content, or inviting an audience into a decision.
A workflow with a clear purpose
A clear distinction between polls that live on a social platform and polls that people open through a shared link.
Step 2
Write the question and options
Keep the question focused and the options easy to distinguish. Review the limits for the chosen poll type.
Step 3
Preview and distribute
Review the poll and its destination. Publish the supported native format or share the hosted link with your audience.
Step 4
Read the responses
Use the results available for that poll type. Keep platform-native results distinct from hosted responses.
The tools behind the work
Native and hosted choices
Choose the poll format that fits the channel and the way people should respond.
Focused question editing
Prepare question text and answer options without unrelated campaign formatting getting in the way.
Shareable hosted polls
Give people a link they can open without needing the poll to be a native feature of a particular social channel.
Destination-aware validation
Review supported options and limitations before publishing a poll to a connected destination.
Response review
Review the results the poll type makes available, with clear separation between hosted and native data.
Part of your campaign
Use questions to inform future content and keep distribution connected to your publishing activity.
Connections and compatibility
- Hosted polls
- Supported native poll destinations
Native poll support and result availability vary by platform. A hosted poll is not a native social-platform poll, and results should not be combined as if they were one audience.

What is the difference between native and hosted polls?
Native polls live inside a supported social platform. Hosted polls live at a shareable web link and have their own response experience.
Can I publish a native poll everywhere?
No. Available formats and limits depend on the destination and its API. Choose a hosted link when a native format is not supported.
Will all native responses appear in Postly?
Only where the provider exposes supported response data. Hosted results are reported separately.
