Version Note: Full poll functionality is only enabled for communities on mobile app version 4.1.0+. If your community has not yet upgraded to version 4.1.0 or above, you may not have access to all poll features outlined below. 

Email-only customers currently cannot add poll blocks in the new Studio.

Each poll presents a single question to your users that you can use to gather quick feedback or information. Adding polls to your campaigns offers instant delivery of results and trackable metrics.
