Gmail can do a lot of things. Polls aren’t one of them, which is how you end up with 23 reply-alls and one person saying “works for me!” to nobody in particular. Add Polls for Gmail and the poll goes right inside your email. People click once. You get answers.
Free plan. Voters don’t need an account.
Four steps. The slowest part is deciding between tacos and pizza.
Grab the Gmail add-on, or the Chrome extension if you live in Chrome. Two clicks, about ten seconds, no credit card.
Hit Compose like you always do. The Polls for Gmail icon is waiting in the compose window.
Type a question, add a few options, pick a poll type. If you can write a grocery list, you can do this.
Click Insert, hit Send, go get a coffee. Every vote lands in your inbox as an email alert, so you know the second Sam picks tacos. (Free plans get alerts for the first 5 votes per poll. Paid plans get them all.)
It’s a real, clickable card that lives in your email, not a “reply with A or B” situation.
No sign-up, no app, no “forgot password.” Click an answer and you’re done.
Single choice, multiple choice, yes or no, star rating, ranked choice, open-ended and date and time.

Want honest answers? Go anonymous. Need a record? Ask voters for their name. Your call, per poll.
We nudge the people who haven’t voted, so you don’t have to be the one who nags.
