9 Slack Apps for Polls and Surveys

Polls and surveys are one of the easiest ways to get signal from your team. Whether you're deciding on a team lunch spot, measuring engagement, or running an eNPS survey across the whole company, doing it inside Slack means people actually respond.

The challenge is picking the right tool. Some apps are built for quick one-off votes. Others handle complex multi-question surveys with analytics and HRIS integration. A few do both.

Here are nine Slack apps for polls and surveys — what they do well, where they fall short, and which ones are worth your time.

1. Doozy

Doozy is best known for team engagement features like introductions, quizzes, and onboarding tracks, but its polls and surveys tool is purpose-built for People teams and managers who need fast, actionable feedback.

What it does well:

• Create single-question polls or detailed multi-question surveys in seconds
• Five question types: multiple choice, 1–5 scale, eNPS, open-ended, and emoji reactions
• Anonymous response options for honest feedback
• Recurring polls and surveys on a schedule
• Download results enriched with HRIS data for deeper analysis
• Runs entirely inside Slack — no external links or logins

Best for: Teams that want lightweight polling combined with deeper engagement surveys, all in one tool that already handles onboarding, introductions, and team culture.

2. Polly

Polly is one of the most established polling apps in the Slack ecosystem. It's well-suited for recurring team rituals like standup check-ins, retro feedback, and quick votes.

What it does well:

• Multiple-choice, checkbox, and open-ended question types
• Scheduled and recurring polls
• Advanced analytics and trend tracking over time
• Export to Google Sheets and CSV
• Workflow automations for triggered surveys

Best for: Teams already using Polly for standups or recurring check-ins who want polling in the same tool.

3. Simple Poll

Simple Poll does exactly what the name suggests. It's the fastest way to create a basic poll in Slack — no setup, no learning curve.

What it does well:

• Create polls with a single slash command
• Anonymous and public voting
• Multi-choice and single-choice options
• Minimal configuration — works out of the box

Where it falls short: No survey support, no analytics, and no scheduling. It's purely for quick votes.

Best for: Small teams that need fast, informal polls without any overhead.

4. SurveyMonkey

SurveyMonkey is a full survey platform with a Slack integration that pushes notifications and results into channels. The surveys themselves are created and taken outside Slack.

What it does well:

• Comprehensive survey builder with dozens of question types
• Advanced logic, branching, and skip patterns
• Detailed analytics, benchmarking, and reporting
• Real-time Slack notifications when responses come in

Where it falls short: Surveys don't run inside Slack — respondents click a link and complete them in a browser. This adds friction and typically lowers response rates.

Best for: Teams that need enterprise-grade survey capabilities and don't mind the external link.

5. Google Forms + Zapier

You can connect Google Forms to Slack via Zapier, sending notifications to a channel when responses come in. It's not a native integration, but it works.

What it does well:

• Free and flexible form builder with many question types
• Zapier automations can post responses, send reminders, or trigger follow-up actions
• Responses go directly into Google Sheets for easy analysis

Where it falls short: Surveys don't run in Slack — they're external links. Setup requires Zapier configuration, and there's no native analytics in Slack.

Best for: Teams already using Google Workspace who want a free option and don't mind the extra setup.

6. Tally

Tally is a free-to-start form builder with a clean interface and a Slack integration for notifications. Like SurveyMonkey and Google Forms, the actual surveys live outside Slack.

What it does well:

• No-code form builder with a generous free tier
• Slack notifications when responses arrive
• Logic jumps, calculations, and hidden fields
• Clean, modern form design

Where it falls short: Not a native Slack experience — respondents fill out forms in a browser.

Best for: Teams that want a polished, free form builder with basic Slack notifications.

7. StrawPoll

StrawPoll is a quick-vote tool designed for instant, lightweight polling. It's the simplest option on this list.

What it does well:

• Create a poll in under 30 seconds
• Instant, visual results
• Anonymous voting by default
• No account required

Where it falls short: Very limited feature set — no surveys, no recurring polls, no analytics. Polls are shared as external links, not native Slack messages.

Best for: One-off, informal votes when you need an answer in the next five minutes.

8. Typeform

Typeform takes a conversational, one-question-at-a-time approach that tends to produce higher completion rates. Its Slack integration sends notifications when responses come in.

What it does well:

• Beautiful, conversational form experience
• Logic jumps and conditional branching
• High response rates thanks to the interactive format
• Detailed analytics and integrations with hundreds of tools

Where it falls short: Surveys don't run inside Slack — respondents click through to a Typeform link. Pricing can get steep for larger teams.

Best for: Customer-facing surveys, candidate experience feedback, or any context where form design and completion rates really matter.

9. Zoho Survey

Zoho Survey is part of the broader Zoho ecosystem and integrates with Slack for response notifications. It's a solid option for teams already invested in Zoho's suite.

What it does well:

• Wide range of question types and customisable templates
• Real-time Slack notifications for responses
• Detailed reporting with cross-tabulation and trend analysis
• Integrates with Zoho CRM, Zoho Analytics, and other Zoho tools

Where it falls short: Like most survey platforms on this list, the actual survey experience happens outside Slack.

Best for: Teams already using Zoho's ecosystem who want survey data flowing into their existing tools.

How to choose the right tool

The biggest decision comes down to where the poll or survey actually runs:

Native Slack experience — Doozy, Polly, and Simple Poll let people respond directly inside Slack messages. This means higher response rates and zero friction. If you care about participation, start here.

External link with Slack notifications — SurveyMonkey, Google Forms, Tally, Typeform, and Zoho Survey all send links that open in a browser. They're more powerful for complex surveys, but response rates drop when people have to leave Slack.

For most teams, the right approach is a native Slack tool for day-to-day polls and quick feedback (like Doozy or Polly), paired with a full survey platform only when you need advanced branching, benchmarking, or external respondents.

If you're already using Doozy for onboarding, introductions, or team engagement, adding polls and surveys keeps everything in one place — fewer tools, less context switching, and a single dashboard for your People team.
