Can bot vote in a poll too?

[alormzpaez]

When an user vote in a poll, I want bot to vote in the same option (working like a "verification" in my personal project). @andresayac have you tried this?

I ask this because I look several methods starting with send (sendPoll, sendText, ...), but I don't know if there are someone starting like reply or something 😅

Can you explain this part a little better to me, when you say that answering a poll is, for example, that you send a survey and the bot answers it?

Yeah. For this example, we'll take your examples/bot.ts:

botBaileys.on('message', async (message) => {
    if (!awaitingResponse) {
        await botBaileys.sendPoll(message.from, 'Select an option', {
            options: ['text', 'media', 'file', 'sticker'],
            multiselect: false
        });
        awaitingResponse = true;
    } else {
        const command = message.body.toLowerCase().trim();
        switch (command) {
            case 'text':
                await botBaileys.sendText(message.from, 'Hello world');
                break;
            case 'media':
                await botBaileys.sendMedia(message.from, 'https://www.w3schools.com/w3css/img_lights.jpg', 'Hello world');
                break;
            case 'file':
                await botBaileys.sendFile(message.from, 'https://github.com/pedrazadixon/sample-files/raw/main/sample_pdf.pdf');
                break;
            case 'sticker':
                await botBaileys.sendSticker(message.from, 'https://gifimgs.com/animations/anime/dragon-ball-z/Goku/goku_34.gif', { pack: 'User', author: 'Me' });
                break;
            default:
                await botBaileys.sendText(message.from, 'Sorry, I did not understand that command. Please select an option from the poll.');
                break;
        }
        awaitingResponse = false;
    }
});

When an user vote 'text', I want bot to vote 'text' too. So, the final result has to be the next:

@andresayac , have you tried this? I'm imaging some logic has to be here:

// ...
          case 'text':
                await botBaileys.sendText(message.from, 'Hello world');
                // Some logic for send vote too
                break;
// ...
