What is a Discord Survey? Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Survey

Creating a survey is a great way to understand your community’s opinions and preferences. Although Discord doesn’t have a built-in poll plugin, in this guide we’ll show you an easy way to create a poll.

What is a Discord Survey? What is it for?

Discord does not currently have the ability to create polls. Therefore, you need to organize a survey manually to vote in the community and get their opinions on any topic.

As you know, Discord is a platform that allows you to create and manage your own server. By opening different channels on the server, you can interact with your community, chat and organize various activities. You can use emoji support to conduct polls on your own server. To do this:

• Choose your survey question and options.
• Choose an emoji for each option.
• Write the survey message.
• Add emoji for each option to the message.
• Share the message on the relevant channel.

Moreover, you can create a new channel where you will conduct surveys regularly. You can archive survey questions and answers on this channel. Thus, you have the chance to regularly store statistical data and feedback on any subject you want.

You can also conduct a survey in a community where you are a member, not an administrator, by applying the method below.

How to Make a Discord Survey?

• If you want to create a private survey channel, click the ‘+’ button in the channels available on the server.
• You can directly name the new channel you create as ‘surveys’.
• You can write a message that defines the rules for the survey you will share on this channel and pin this message.
• To conduct a survey both in the survey channel and in normal channels, write the question you want to ask in the message box and send it.
• You must hover over this article with your mouse.
• After waiting until the smiley face appears next to the message, go to this emoji and click on the ‘add reaction’ option.
• From here you can choose the emojis you want to include among the answer options of the survey.
• For example, in the message box ‘Do you prefer coffee or juice?’ Let’s assume you wrote a question like: You can add coffee cup and juice options as emojis.
• Users who read the question you sent will participate in the survey voting by choosing from the emojis you specified.
• The number of votes cast appears next to each emoji.
• If you wish, if there are any special rules you want to set after creating the survey question, you can write them as a message.

In addition to this method, you can also use various bots and survey tools to conduct surveys on Discord. Applications such as Poll Bot and Poll Maker are some of the preferred tools for this process.
