FAQ

Questions, answered

Is there a Chrome extension for polls in Gmail?

Yes. The free Polls for Gmail Chrome extension adds a poll button to every Gmail compose window, a live results sidebar, and poll status next to emails that contain a poll. Recipients vote in one click from any inbox.

How is it different from the Gmail add-on?

Both create the same polls in the same account. The extension is much faster, because it runs in your browser instead of waiting on Google’s servers after each click. It’s also much more beautiful. The add-on works everywhere Gmail does, including the Gmail mobile apps.

Does it work on my phone, or in Safari or Firefox?

No. The extension runs in desktop Chrome only. On your phone or in another browser, use the Gmail add-on. It shares your account and polls.

Is it free?

Yes. The Free plan includes every poll type. Standard ($75/year) gives you 5 voted polls a month. Pro ($120/year) adds unlimited polls, multi-question polls, vote reminders, templates, exports and no branding.

Does the extension read my emails?

No. It requests no Google account permissions and never stores or sends email content. When you send an email with a poll you inserted, it notes that email’s To and Cc addresses, so reminders and invites reach the right people.

What kinds of polls can I create?

Single choice, multiple choice, date and time, star rating, yes/no, ranked choice and open-ended. Pro lets you ask up to 5 questions in one poll.

Do recipients need anything to vote?

No. Voting is one click, with no extension, account or app. Polls work in Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail and every other email client.

How do I schedule a meeting from a poll?

When a date and time poll has a winner, click Schedule in the Polls sidebar. Google Calendar opens with the time and every recipient invited. Review it and click Save.

How do I remove the extension?

Right-click the Polls for Gmail icon in Chrome’s toolbar and choose Remove from Chrome. Your polls stay safe in your account.

Your fastest poll is one click away.

Free for desktop Chrome. Works with your existing account.
