Cakey Bot offers three poll types to suit different use cases — a quick yes/no poll, a fully custom multi-option poll using emoji reactions, and a native Discord poll with a built-in timer. Any server member can create a poll without needing special permissions.
Cakey Bot requires the
Add Reactions,Send Messages, andEmbed Linkspermissions in the channel where the poll is posted.
/poll simple <question>
Posts a quick yes/no poll as an embed. Cakey Bot adds three reactions automatically: 👍 (yes), 👎 (no), and 🤷 (unsure). Members vote by clicking a reaction.
/poll advanced <question> <response1> <response2> [response3–10]
Posts a custom multi-option poll as an embed. You provide the question and between 2 and 10 answer options. Cakey Bot adds a regional indicator emoji (🇦, 🇧, 🇨 ...) for each option, which members click to vote.
/poll discord <hours> <question> <response1> <response2> [response3–10] [multiselect]
Posts a poll using Discord's native poll system. The poll runs for a set duration and shows live vote counts. Once the timer expires, voting closes automatically and Discord displays the final results.
Discord native polls cannot be ended early or modified after posting. Use
/poll advancedif you need more control.
