# Run a poll in Discord

Native Discord polls with the options you want, plus the ability to check results or close voting early.

Categories: Messages.

## The request

"@Bond Put up a poll in #general asking what we play on Friday"

## What Bond does after the first message

- Send a message to a channel or thread, optionally with components (buttons, select menus, modals) that make it an interactive panel members click. (`send_message`)
- Edit a message the bot already sent: its text, embeds, attachments or interactive components. (`edit_message`)
- Toggle whether Discord displays embeds and link previews on an existing message. (`suppress_message_embeds`)
- Forward an existing Discord message into another text-based channel. (`forward_message`)
- Delete one message from a Discord channel, given the channel and message ID. (`delete_message`)
- Delete many messages at once from a Discord channel (purge), far faster than one at a time. (`bulk_delete_messages`)

## More in community moments

- [Set up reaction roles](https://www.bondbot.gg/use-cases/reaction-roles): Members pick their own roles from a menu that lists each role by name, several at once or one at a time. Emoji reactions work too, if you ask for them.
- [Run a giveaway](https://www.bondbot.gg/use-cases/giveaways): Post the entry message, let people react, and have a winner drawn at random when the timer runs out.
- [Add custom emoji and stickers](https://www.bondbot.gg/use-cases/add-custom-emoji): Upload emoji, stickers and soundboard sounds, rename them, limit an emoji to certain roles, or delete the ones you no longer want.
