Are you wondering how to create a poll for a telegram channel ? Not sure if it is better to do it from an app or from a bot ?
Then follow me because in this article I will describe step by step how to do it both from a native app and via telegram bot.
We will see together the strengths and weaknesses of both solutions so you can decide independently whether to do it from the app or start using a bot .
? I also manage a telegram channel in which I publish the best offers of iPhones and technological products and lately I have been publishing surveys to understand what my readers are interested in and make the channel more and more interesting.
But why is it important to create polls on a telegram channel?
Why create a telegram survey
If you run a channel or would like to start running your own, then you should seriously consider creating polls for two main reasons
1️⃣ Understand what your users are interested in
2️⃣ Create greater interaction between you and them
This is because a channel is a one – way communication tool in which only you publish news , with polls instead you have the opportunity to make your followers interact with your content and make the channel more and more interesting and enjoyable.
Furthermore, you also have the opportunity to better understand if your communication strategy works, if the contents are adequate and if those who follow you really do it or have forgotten about you.
I’ll give you an example, let’s say you have a channel with 1000 subscribers and you want to know how many interact with your content.
The “classic” way is to see how many views your post has had, for example if each of your posts is seen by 700 people it means that you are having a good engagement on reading .
But now if you want to check how many users are really interested in what you publish then you could take a survey and ask something similar to your content.
For example by creating a survey similar to this
you will be able to understand not only what your users are interested in but also if the communication strategy you have chosen is adequate and determines a quality engagement .
Returning to the example, if 300 people actively participate in your survey, you will have obtained the following information:
Of 1,000 users , 700 read my posts but only 300 are really inclined to change iPhones , of these 300 more than half look for a refurbished iPhone (about 150).
Understand how thanks to the survey you could understand if your communication strategy is correct or if you will have to change course.
Create a telegram survey from the app
From December it is possible to create surveys directly from the app , in a simple and intuitive way and valid for both the desktop app and the mobile app .
To start, click on the icon in the form of attach at the bottom left and select ” Poll ”
At this point, enter the question in the ” QUESTION ” box and the options in the ” POLL OPTIONS ” boxes
Then click on ” Send ” to immediately send the survey to your telegram channel.
Standard mode requires the user to select only one of the options you have entered.
You will be able to see the results of the survey in real time and know by how many it was seen , how many interacted with it and the results of the survey.
You can also create multiple choice surveys or real quizzes , very nice to engage your readers.
In this case you will have to indicate which is the correct answer and insert a message in case of wrong answer .
The result is really nice and engaging, especially for those who guess the quiz.
This is the result for those who get the answer wrong .
As you can see, creating surveys and quizzes with the telegram app is really simple and intuitive , so why should you also consider the option with bots?
Create a telegram survey from bot
You should consider the bot option as this will give you the ability to better format your survey and schedule sending.
That’s why before seeing how to create a survey with telegram bots I suggest you read my article dedicated to telegram bots.

Now that you know what a telegram bot is , how it works and how to configure it, you can start seeing how to create a survey using the ChelpBot bot described in the linked article.
First, log in to the bot and click on ” Send Post ”
select the reference channel
And then enter the question you would like to ask in the survey or the full text of the post you want to send.
Now check the ” Poll ” box
At this point be very careful because you will have to write the various answers as a character set divided by a space , like this example
You will be offered a preview of what the survey will look like
you can decide whether to publish it immediately or schedule its publication.
Which solution to choose?
As you may have noticed, the ” native ” surveys compared to the surveys sent via bots are very different and my advice is to consider both solutions and decide each time whether to use the first or the second option.
The solution sending with bots is, in my personal opinion, more in line with an instant post satisfaction survey, such as: “ Did you like my article? yes – no – not much – fantastic ”
While the sending solution from the app is preferable when you want to create a real survey , independent of the post or create interaction with quizzes and multiple answers.
