# Polls
## Supported channels
- WhatsApp (web channel)
- Discord
- MS Teams (Adaptive Cards)
## CLI
```bash
# WhatsApp
clawdbot message poll --target +15555550123 \
--poll-question "Lunch today?" --poll-option "Yes" --poll-option "No" --poll-option "Maybe"
clawdbot message poll --target 123456789@g.us \
--poll-question "Meeting time?" --poll-option "10am" --poll-option "2pm" --poll-option "4pm" --poll-multi
# Discord
clawdbot message poll --channel discord --target channel:123456789 \
--poll-question "Snack?" --poll-option "Pizza" --poll-option "Sushi"
clawdbot message poll --channel discord --target channel:123456789 \
--poll-question "Plan?" --poll-option "A" --poll-option "B" --poll-duration-hours 48
# MS Teams
clawdbot message poll --channel msteams --target conversation:19:abc@thread.tacv2 \
--poll-question "Lunch?" --poll-option "Pizza" --poll-option "Sushi"
```
Options:
- `--channel`: `whatsapp` (default), `discord`, or `msteams`
- `--poll-multi`: allow selecting multiple options
- `--poll-duration-hours`: Discord-only (defaults to 24 when omitted)
## Gateway RPC
Method: `poll`
Params:
- `to` (string, required)
- `question` (string, required)
- `options` (string[], required)
- `maxSelections` (number, optional)
- `durationHours` (number, optional)
- `channel` (string, optional, default: `whatsapp`)
- `idempotencyKey` (string, required)
## Channel differences
- WhatsApp: 2-12 options, `maxSelections` must be within option count, ignores `durationHours`.
- Discord: 2-10 options, `durationHours` clamped to 1-768 hours (default 24). `maxSelections > 1` enables multi-select; Discord does not support a strict selection count.
- MS Teams: Adaptive Card polls (Clawdbot-managed). No native poll API; `durationHours` is ignored.
## Agent tool (Message)
Use the `message` tool with `poll` action (`to`, `pollQuestion`, `pollOption`, optional `pollMulti`, `pollDurationHours`, `channel`).
Note: Discord has no “pick exactly N” mode; `pollMulti` maps to multi-select.
Teams polls are rendered as Adaptive Cards and require the gateway to stay online
to record votes in `~/.clawdbot/msteams-polls.json`.
