Question formats

One engine — every question format.

Ask the right way for the question. Multiple choice for preferences, star ratings for satisfaction, yes/no for a quick read, ranking for prioritization. Every format runs on the same engine, so building, delivering, and analyzing a poll works exactly the same way.

✓ Multiple choice — single or multi-select
✓ Star ratings — measure satisfaction and sentiment
✓ Yes/no — fast, frictionless answers
✓ Ranking — let respondents prioritize options
✓ Open text — collect verbatim feedback
✓ One builder, one result set — whatever the format

Multi-channel delivery

Ask anywhere your audience already is.

Send a poll as an SMS keyword, drop it into an email as a tappable button, or embed it on any web page. However a respondent answers, their vote lands in the same combined result set — no stitching data together from three different tools later.

✓ SMS keyword — reply to vote, no app needed
✓ Email button — one tap straight from the inbox
✓ Web embed — drop a poll on any page
✓ One combined result set across every channel
✓ Each response is tied to a known contact
✓ Same poll, every channel — built once

Common questions

Polls & surveys FAQs

A poll is a single, quick question — one tap, one answer. A survey strings several questions together to gather richer feedback. In DailyStory they run on the same engine, so building, delivering, and analyzing them works identically. Use a poll when you want a fast read on one thing; use a survey when you need depth.

Three ways, and you can use all of them for the same poll. As an SMS keyword — respondents text in and reply to vote, no app needed. As an email button — a one-tap option right in the inbox. Or as a web embed on any page. Every vote, no matter the channel, lands in one combined result set.

Multiple choice (single or multi-select), star ratings, yes/no, ranking, and open text. Every format uses the same builder and reports into the same result set, so you can mix formats in a survey without switching tools or learning a new workflow.

Yes. Tally bars grow and the response counter ticks up the moment a vote arrives — there’s no refresh button. The leading answer is highlighted automatically, and you can share the live results view on a call, a screen at an event, or a public page.

Yes — this is what makes DailyStory polls more than a survey tool. A specific answer can fire any automation: send a follow-up email, start an SMS sequence, apply a tag, or move the contact into a campaign. A low satisfaction rating can route to your team; a feature vote can enroll the contact in an update list.

Yes. Every response is tied to a known contact and saved to their record — not stranded in a separate survey app. That means you can build segments from how contacts answered, follow up automatically, and see a contact’s full poll history alongside the rest of their activity.
