Automated Straw Poll Non Voter Reminders

Every morning, WebRun opens each of your polls that is still accepting votes, counts the votes cast against the participant list, works out who has not voted and how many hours are left before the deadline, sends that list to Telegram with a reminder you can send yourself, and files the turnout record in Google Drive.

In short

How do I chase people who have not voted in a poll yet?

WebRun opens each of your still open Straw Poll votes every morning, compares who has voted against your invite list, and works out the hours left before the deadline. It sends the shrinking non-voter list to Telegram with a reminder you can send, so decisions are made on a full turnout instead of three votes.

  • Non-voters are named daily instead of counted at the deadline
  • The reminder is written and waiting, so sending it takes seconds
  • Turnout is recorded day by day, so a low response is caught early

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it message the people who have not voted?

No. WebRun drafts a short reminder and sends it to you in Telegram. You send it. WebRun never contacts a participant, never votes, and never changes a poll option or its deadline.

How does it know who has not voted?

It compares the participants recorded against the poll with the invite list you keep, so the missing names are named rather than just counted.

What happens when the poll closes?

It drops off the daily run automatically. The turnout record stays in Google Drive with the full curve, so you can see how the vote came in over the days it was open.

Put this on autopilot.

Turn it on in minutes - or have our team set it up for you.
