Automated Straw Poll Results to Trello Tracking
Every hour, WebRun checks Straw Poll for any poll that closed since the last run, reads the final vote counts for every option, posts the results to Microsoft Teams, and opens a Trello card for the winning option so the team's decision turns into a tracked task instead of ending with the vote.
How do I make sure a Straw Poll decision actually gets actioned?
WebRun checks Straw Poll every hour for polls that closed, reads the final vote count for every option, posts the results to Microsoft Teams, and opens a Trello card for the winning option. Team decisions turn into a tracked next step automatically, instead of a vote that everyone agreed on but nobody followed up.
- Poll results are visible in Teams within the hour of closing
- Winning options get a tracked Trello card instead of ending with the vote
- Ties are reported honestly instead of assigning a false winner

Questions, answered
Does WebRun decide which option wins?
No. It only reads the vote counts Straw Poll already tallied and reports the option with the most votes. The team's vote is the decision.
What if a poll ends in a tie?
WebRun still posts the full results to Teams and notes the tie, but it doesn't open a Trello card until the team breaks the tie themselves.
Can it track more than one poll?
Yes. It checks every poll under your Straw Poll account and posts results and opens a card separately for each one that closes.
