Connect Polls for Gmail to Google Sheets, Slack, Notion, and 8,000+ apps through Zapier — no code, five-minute setup. Log every vote as it lands, post final results the moment a poll closes, or run a weekly poll that creates and shares itself.
What people build
Trigger on New Vote, add a Google Sheets row with the question, voter, choice, and timestamp. Your running tally lives where your team already works.
Every New Vote posts a message — "Dana picked Lisbon 🗳️" — so the whole team follows along without opening a dashboard.
Schedule by Zapier → Create Poll → post the voting link to Slack or email. Monday standup poll, Friday lunch vote, monthly pulse check — fully automatic.
When a poll closes — by deadline, by hand, or by a Zap — the Poll Closed trigger carries the winner and full tallies, ready to drop into Slack, Notion, or an email.
How to connect
Copy your API key. Open your dashboard → Settings → find the Zapier row → Show API key. It starts with pfg_. (Every plan has one, free included.)
Connect on Zapier. Accept the Polls for Gmail invite, then pick Polls for Gmail in any Zap. When Zapier asks to connect your account, paste the key — done.
Build your first Zap. Start with New Vote → Google Sheets: map the question, voter, and choice fields, turn it on, and cast a test vote. The row appears on Zapier's next check (every 1–15 minutes depending on your Zapier plan). Full walkthrough: poll votes to Google Sheets, step by step.
The toolkit
Fires for each vote, with the poll question, voter name and email (when collected), their choice, and the vote link. Filter to one poll or listen to all of them.
Fires when a poll closes — deadline passed, closed by hand, or closed by a Zap — with total votes, the winner, and per-option tallies as both fields and ready-to-post text.
Creates a poll — question, options, type, optional deadline — and returns the voting link for the next step to share. Follows your plan's normal poll quota.
Closes a poll and returns its final results in the same step — pair with Schedule by Zapier to end your recurring polls on time, every time.
FAQ
Yes — every trigger and action, on every plan. Polls created through Zapier follow your plan's normal poll quota, exactly like polls created in Gmail — so free accounts can genuinely try the whole thing.
The vote is recorded instantly; Zapier picks it up on its next check — every 1 to 15 minutes depending on your Zapier plan.
No. Zapier is point-and-click: pick a trigger, pick an action, map the fields. The only "technical" step is pasting one API key.
Only your own polls and votes — the API key is scoped to your account. Regenerate it anytime in dashboard Settings and anything using the old key is instantly disconnected.
The integration is brand new — the invite link gives you access while Zapier reviews it for their public app directory. Zaps you build today keep working after the public listing goes live.
