The Polly Blog

Whether you're reviewing design changes, ranking your top location choices for your next team retreat, or finalizing departmental budget line items, ranking your choices and assigning numerical values to your poll options is an easy and effective way to determine preferences.

Polly is adjusting our existing pricing model to more accurately reflect the value that users get from the tool and to make room for some exciting new features coming your way here soon.

Results from your polls and surveys have always been displayed in total with all responses and had the inability for advanced filtering – until now. We're so pleased to announce that you can now slice and dice your data on your dashboard in an interactive way with advanced filtering.

For important company-wide results for a survey, there's a good chance that other people in your company will need access to it, too. Some examples would be your supervisor, investors, department head, or your cross-functional project lead. We strive to continuously foster the same culture of openness and transparency that Slack is ubiquitous with – which is what Polly aims to do by increasing the ability to share out important results to your stakeholders.

We got a lot of valuable feedback from our core customers that showed there was a need for the ability to dig deep into their most important survey responses and uncover relationships across variables – which is why we're so excited to announce that cross-tabulations are now available for deeper insights into their data. 

Segmenting your results can be tremendously useful in situations where you want to use population demographics to compare results across different attributes such as: gender, age, departments, office location, salary level, seniority at company, and more.

Measuring trends over time is a crucial part of running any recurring poll or survey – it helps to uncover insights into the effectiveness of your initiative, or the sentiments of your team over time, that you wouldn't be able to see from a single view. We're so thrilled to announce that charts and trend history are back and even better than ever before.

Whether you wanted to export all of your one-off survey results for an aggregated view, or wanted to analyze your organizational health segmented by departments, or wanted to create your own pivot charts of your recurring survey trends over time, now you can with CSV exports – where you set the limits to what you can uncover with your data.

Almost a year after the announcement of the Hangouts Chat beta that a targeted set of G Suite users had access to, we're so thrilled to announce that Polly has teamed up with the folks over at G Suite to bring forth a simple polling integration for the official public launch of Hangouts Chat.

If you're not already initiating some of your simple, everyday workflows in Slack – now's the time to do so. Instead of having all of your asynchronous workflows live in isolation, they can live in a shared collaborative space where all your best work happens. We've handpicked five workflows you should be measuring in 2018 that are either used often by our customers, we use ourselves, or see customers use to gain insight into their organizational health.
