Summary
If i use the Rest API /api/v4/posts to create poll with the help of slash command ‘/poll’ it posts only the message “/poll “Poll text”” instead of creating the poll.
Steps to reproduce
Use the POST rest api ‘/api/v4/posts’ with following json body.
{
“channel_id”: “<valid_channel_id>”,
“message”: “/poll "Creates no poll"”
}
Expected behavior
The api call creates a Poll with the message “Creates no poll”.
Observed behavior
The api call posts only the message “/poll “Creates no poll”” instead.
Hi Matze, thanks for reaching out! While the REST API itself doesn’t directly create polls, you can use the /poll slash command from within Mattermost’s “Matterpoll” integration to create polls interactively. Let us know if you have additional questions!
Hey John, thanks for your reply. So it is not possible to automate the creation of a poll over an api call? The only way to create a poll is interactively with the help of the slash command ‘/poll’?
