coapp doesn’t have a dedicated poll feature – but you can easily run polls using emojis. Here’s how it works:

How to create a poll:

  1. Create a regular post with your question and the available answer options.

  2. Use emojis for each answer option, e.g.:

  3. “Who’s joining on Monday?”

    1️⃣ I’m in

    2️⃣ Probably in

    3️⃣ Probably not

    4️⃣ Not in

  4. React to your own post with all relevant emojis.

    This way, others immediately see which options are available.

  5. Your members can now cast their vote by simply clicking on the appropriate emoji.

Tip:

  • Keep the answer options as short and clear as possible.

  • You can also use emojis like 👍👎 or ❤️💛💚 – depending on what best fits your question.

Benefits of this method:

  • Quick and easy: No additional feature needed. Everything works via standard emoji reactions.

  • Visually engaging: Emojis make the poll more fun and user-friendly.

  • Real-time results: You can count the reactions at any time and instantly see the current poll results.

This method is a flexible and simple way to quickly gather opinions in your community – no extra tools required. It works especially well for informal polls and simple decisions.
