# Polls

## Understand Polls

Polls in Hippoly are created as attachments to [posts](/using-hippoly/posts.md), making them part of the broader context and conversation. Once a poll is published, it’s visible to everyone in the workspace, and all members can cast their vote.

Polls are versatile and can be used for everything from finding a suitable meeting time to gathering input for more critical decisions. You can choose between single-option polls - where users select one answer - or multiple-option polls that allow participants to vote for several alternatives.

This makes polls a flexible and efficient way to engage your team and support informed decision-making.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.hippoly.com/using-hippoly/polls.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
