Polling Feature

Polling: Collect Real Data Directly from Voters

RoboCent’s Polling feature lets you track structured responses inside your P2P text campaigns — so your team can gather real-time voter feedback, qualify leads, or tag support.

🔧 How It Works

  1. Enable Polling during campaign setup in the Message Scheduler

  2. Add 1 or more Questions for agents to track

    • Each question is visible to agents only, not sent to contacts

  3. For each question:

    • Provide the question text

    • Add 1–9 answer options

    • (Optional) Link an auto-response script for each answer

  4. Launch the campaign — your agents will manage response logging in the Agent Portal.

Before You Start You must assign live agents to your campaign. Polling is 100% manual — agents will view replies and log responses in the Agent Portal.


🎯 Example Setup

Question: Do you plan to vote?

Answers:

  • Yes → [Linked Script: “Great! We hope you support our candidate.”]

  • No → [Linked Script: “Election Day is Tuesday — you still have time.”]

  • Not Sure → [Linked Script: “Your voice matters. We hope you’ll vote.”]

When a contact replies, your agent reads the message, selects the correct answer from the poll dropdown, and (if set) the linked reply is preloaded for quick response.


📊 Reporting + Exports

  • All logged responses are saved for the individual voter

  • View polling results in your message dashboard

💡 Use Cases

  • Voter Intent: “Do you plan to vote?”

  • Issue Tracking: “Have you experienced flooding in your area?”

  • Lead Tagging: “Are you interested in volunteering?”

  • Segmentation: “What issue matters most to you?”


🧠 Notes + Best Practices

  • Polling only works when you have active agents managing replies

  • Questions are not sent to contacts — they serve as internal agent tools

  • Response scripts are optional but help speed up replies and keep messaging consistent
