# Polls in Discord.Net
|
|
|
|
Polls are... Polls!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This guide will explain how to use polls in your applications.
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> To get contents of polls sent by users other than your bot you need to enable `GatewayIntent.MessageContent` intent.
|
|
|
|
## Creating polls
|
|
|
|
A poll is part of a message; to send one you need to pass a [PollProperties] object into the `poll` parameter of any method that can be used to send messages. (ex. `SendMessageAsync`, `RespondAsync`, etc)
|
|
|
|
[!code-csharp[Creating polls](samples/create-poll.cs)]
|
|
|
|
> [!WARNING]
|
|
> Due to limitations of the Discord API it's not possible to send attachments in a messages with a poll.
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> It is not possible to modify polls after them being created.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Managing polls
|
|
|
|
### Ending polls
|
|
You can expire polls early by calling `EndPollAsync` on an [IUserMessage] with a poll.
|
|
|
|
[!code-csharp[Ending polls](samples/end-poll.cs)]
|
|
|
|
### Getting poll answer voters
|
|
To get voters for a specific answer call `GetPollAnswerVotersAsync(answerId)` on an [IUserMessage] with a poll.
|
|
|
|
[!code-csharp[Getting poll answer voters](samples/get-poll-voters.cs)]
|
|
|
|
### Retrieving poll results
|
|
You can get results of a poll by simply getting an [IUserMessage] and checking the `IUserMessage.Poll.Results` property. Alteratively you can check the results on a `MessageUpdated` gateway event.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Gateway events
|
|
|
|
### Poll votes
|
|
You can receive information about poll votes live using following events:
|
|
- `PollVoteAdded`
|
|
- `PollVoteRemoved`
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> These events are only sent if the client has `GatewayIntents.GuildMessagePolls` or `GatewayIntents.DirectMessagePolls` intents enabled. It will receive events for polls in guild or dm channels respectively.
|
|
|
|
### Poll expiry
|
|
On poll expiry the `MessageUpdated` event is fired.
