Outgrow is a software tool that allows you to create interactive content that engages your audience, and among its many features, you can now create polls. Polls are a powerful way to gain insights about your customers' needs and feedback about your products and services. They are also inherently viral and can help you reach a broader audience in a short amount of time.

Like other interactive content, Polls are also intrinsically viral, and you can now create real-time polls with Outgrow. Let's see how to build and customise a poll in Outgrow.

If you would like to create a poll using Outgrow, here is how you can do it:

1. Log in to your Outgrow account and click on the Poll content type from the main dashboard.

2. Select whether you want to build a poll using a fresh design layout or a premade layout from Outgrow's library.

To customise your poll, follow these 4 steps:

A. Welcome Screen: Specify the heading and subheading, call-to-action button text, and media display preferences. Upload a custom background image, choose font type, size, colour, and text alignment.

B. Questionnaire: Add questions, choose question type, text, description, and answer choices. Customise the answer display with a grid or vertical layout, and enable advanced settings. You can also customise the design and layout.

Note: Only the single-select question type is used while calculating the poll result.

C. Results Page: Configure heading and description, URL, conditional messaging, and summary settings. Add media, social media buttons, Calendly, and Chilipiper widgets. Customise the background image, font type, size, and colour.

D. Lead Gen Form: Customise form fields to collect specific information from your audience.

When you create a poll, the percentage of users who have selected each option is automatically calculated. For instance, suppose you have four options and 30 people have participated in the poll. Out of those 30 people, 25 have answered the single select question. If 10 of the 25 participants have selected option 1, then option 1 will show a percentage of 40%. To add a single select question, select "Single-Select" as the question type and lay out the options for users to choose from. Moreover, you can add an icon or image to be shown with each option.

NOTE: Only a single select option will be counted as a vote in the poll.

You can now customise the messages displayed to poll users based on their results. You have the option to show a different message depending on the range of result values. For instance, if the result value falls between 0 and 30%, you can show a message that reads, "Only Result% of people agree with you, which is less than...". However, if the result value falls outside this range, the message can read, "Result% of people agree with you on...". You can add one or more conditional messages to a graded quiz, and the range for the conditional message is automatically determined based on the possible range of poll results.
