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:
Go to the Planning section and click on Create post or select a time directly from the calendar.
Choose X (Twitter) as the social network, then select Poll from the format dropdown.
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)
Just below, choose who can reply to your post:
Everyone
Only subscribers
People you follow
Only people mentioned
Verified accounts only
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.
