How to schedule a post with a poll

Polls on X (formerly Twitter) are a great way to drive engagement, collect feedback, or start conversations with your audience. With Metricool, you can schedule them to go live automatically at the date and time you choose.

📱 Also available on the Metricool mobile app.

Follow these steps to create and schedule a post with a poll:

1. Go to the Planning section and click on Create post or select a time directly from the calendar.
2. Choose X (Twitter) as the social network, then select Poll from the format dropdown.
3. Add your question in the copy and fill in the poll fields:

• Enter two to four answer options
• Set the duration (in hours or days)

4. Just below, choose who can reply to your post:

• Everyone
• Only subscribers
• People you follow
• Only people mentioned
• Verified accounts only

5. Set the date and time, then click Schedule.

✅ Done! Your poll will be scheduled and published on X at the selected time and date. All that’s left is to wait for the results.
