Authoring a Poll

Use the /polly command in Slack:

/polly When should we hold the meeting? to author a poll.
/polly "When should we hold the meeting?" "9am" "10am" "11am" with quotes to author a poll with the options populated by default.
/polly followed by the enter key to get a link to author the poll from our web UI, or to access some other poll control options
