An advanced poll bot with tonnes of customisation, and no voting blocks. Made by a man with an unhealthy obsession with polls

Inquiry is a bot that makes polls. Nothing more nothing less. Featuring extensive customisation, all you need to do is ask the question.

So how do you use Inquiry?

Simply type /poll and name your poll. From here you can customise the poll to your needs.

Once customised, hit submit, and a modal will appear letting you add your options.

All polls have the following optional settings

• Colour - What colour should the embed be?
• Description - Add a description to your poll
• Duration - How long can people vote in this poll?
• Max_Votes - The maximum number of votes per user
• Hide_Results - Hide the results of the poll until it has closed
• voting_role - Require the member has a specific role to vote
• Open_Poll - Allow people to add their own options to the poll
• Thread - Create a thread for this poll
• Inline - Should the options be displayed in line (side-by-side)
• Image - Add an image to the poll
• Close_Message - Send a message when the poll is closed

Need a poll fast?

Use premade poll commands. These commands create a poll with pre-set options for you.

Currently, there are:

• poll_boolean - a poll with yes or no options
• poll_opinion - a poll with agree, neutral, disagree options
• poll_week - a poll with the days of the week
• poll_blank - an open poll with no starting options
• poll_elimination - A poll where options are eliminated when you vote for them

What about custom emoji?

Custom emoji couldnt be simpler; just put an emoji anywhere in the option text, and Inquiry will extract it for the option's emoji

Made a mistake?

You can edit polls too, up until you close them. Simply use the edit_poll commands

Want to close the poll?

To automatically close polls, use the duration setting, otherwise just react to the poll with 🔴

It's your data!

These are your polls, your voters, and your results. If you want to take your results from a poll to use for something else, its your right to. Use /export to export the data out of the polls in whatever format you need.

How do I self-host this?

While I won't go out of my way to make help you, I can appreciate wanting to host things yourself.

You'll need three things, redis, docker, and a token. The best part is docker can help with the first one.

For the token, create a file called .env. In it, put your token, like this

TOKEN=<token>

Fire up your redis server, and run the following command in this projects root dir

docker-compose up -d

Congrats, Inquiry is now running on your machine.
