How to Create a Poll on Your Facebook Page

December 12, 2018

In this tutorial, we explain how to create a poll and publish it on a Facebook page you manage. The whole process only takes a few minutes. Take a look at the video above for the step-by-step tutorial.

First, it is important to understand the difference between a Facebook Page and a personal account. The Page represents a business, community or public figure that interacts with an audience of followers. A personal account is used by you, as an individual. It is your login to get into Facebook.

Receive Email Notifications for New Answers

November 30, 2018

We just added a feature that was long overdue. You can now receive an email notification each time someone answers your poll. You were already receiving notifications through Facebook and now you will get both by default. You can configure how you wish to be notified (email, Facebook or both) from the Advanced Options of the Configuration section of your poll.

Prevent Fraudulent Voting With Facebook Profiles

May 23, 2018

We recently added a feature to help fight fraudulent voting for popular polls. You can now require participants to authorize the app before they submit the poll form. The app will store participants Facebook profile IDs and validate that each ID is unique. This effectively means that any given Facebook user will only be able to vote once.

How to Edit the Facebook Page Tab Name

May 14, 2018

When you install a Tab on your Facebook Page, it will be named "Poll" by default. It's sometimes useful to rename the tab to better reflect the purpose of your poll.
