## Add it to your server

[**Add the official bot**](https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=489108697864470531&scope=applications.commands)

You will notice that, when you've authorised the app, it **will not join your server**. This is **intended**, **you can use the commands anyway**.
You can verify this by typing `/poll info`.

## Usage
`/poll help` - Receive help
`/poll info` - Display bot info

Use `/poll create` to create a poll.

| `1`..`15`              | The options voters can pick from                                            | Format: `<emoji>? <key>? ; <description>` |
| `voter-role`           | A role people must have in order to participate                             | Any existing role                         |
| `allow-change-options` | Whether it should be possible to add more options after creation            | True or False                             |
| `show-votes`           | Whether it will be visible who voted for which option(s)                    | always, never or after closing            |
| `multi-vote`           | Whether every voter can pick multiple options                               | True or False                             |
| `close-in`             | Number of seconds after which poll is closed                                | positive number, <= 0 will be ignored     |

Polls can be closed by the poll creator and people who are allowed to delete messages.

## How does this work?
The bot makes heavy use of new Discord features, including **webhook-based interactions**. Using those, bots don't have to be on the server anymore in order to receive events like commands and button presses. The new button interactions also allow bots to edit messages on each button press, without any rate limit. With traditional poll bots, this concept would blow up!

Do you want to chat with me about feature requests, bug reports or general questions? My DMs are open, so you can do that by [joining a server I'm also on](https://discord.gg/npEXyQt). I do not accept friend requests at this time.
