Ability to create new poll without popup window

[robinreinhardt]

Is it possible to add the option to add a poll directly without the popup window? In older versions of this App it was possible to add polls directly with following command:

/poll "Question" "Option 1" "Option 2" "Option 3"

This "old" creation method is very requested by our users, because it allows to create several polls one after the other

the main idea behind the popup window was to add unlimited possibilites to the poll creator, but I see how it affected your users.

I would not like to have both behaviors in same command though as they conflict and could not be that easy to understand how to use each behavior.

what about adding a new slash command? some like /poll-nox (like vim-nox) or /poll-noui or /simple-poll.. in this case I don't a problem having both functionalities.

Hey @sampaiodiego ,

thank you for your reply. I can relate the idea behind it. I think an addional slash command is a good solution. My ideas for this command are: /poll-quick /poll-simple or /poll-inline

In my opinion the default settings for such an "inline poll" could be:

• single choice
• confidential vote

Dear authors, yes, quick creation of polls with copy and paste of more args or just new commands would be great. How about: /poll-yn (for 'yes' / 'no' choice, single choice, confidential) /poll-abcd (for A/B/C/D choice, single choice, confidential) It would be really useful during online teaching, where I use rocketchat for communication with the students. Thank you!
