How to change Poll design in an email?

GaryW271

Inserting a quick poll into email is great. Love the simplicity and how the responses are tracked. However, stumped on how I can change the actual layout of the poll. For example, how do I move the buttons around or change their color? Recenter option answers? Any other things? I'd like to believe there is a way to edit this great gadget!

At this time, the buttons in a poll block cannot be edited outside of the design tab. We ask for additional comments and votes be left on the open idea for allowing additional poll block editing. Our Product team regularly reviews our Feedback boards more than our Get Help area. Though we do not have a time estimate of if a feature like this will be available in the product, any updates will be posted there, not on this post . Voting and commenting on that post allows you to be notified of replies.

How do I change the color of the buttons is the polls?

Hello PaulN384,

 

To change the color of the buttons in a Poll block, you change the button color on the Design Tab of the editor.

Click on Design in the top left.

Then go to the bottom and select "Buttons and Dividers" under the colors section.

Then you can choose the default color and it will automatically update the color of the Poll's buttons.

How could someone change the button colors and disable the outer divider to the email? I have it set to white now to eliminate that border around my email and need the buttons to show the text which I can't change the color for.

Hello @AmericanSailing ,

 

The poll block's coloring is dependent on the default color settings found in the Design tab of the email editor. This where you can set the color for the font, buttons, divider lines, etc.

Can you change the text color within these buttons? I don't see a way to do that.

Seriously - let's make the poll modifiable!!!!! Look at how much room this poll takes up. If the buttons could have the choice in it and all the buttons clustered together, the size could be 1/6 of what it is now. As it is now, it'll not likely a subscriber would see all option on a single mobile screen. Help! This doesn't seem like difficult coding and has obviously been a customer complaint since 2018!Screen Shot 2021-03-04 at 9.33.39 AM.png

I agree this needs to change. There needs to be more options. The rest of my buttons are orange and white and I cannot change the text in the poll button? Looks bad on the eblast. We need more design functions. I have been considering looking into other platforms due to lack of custom options and only "basic" capabilities.

PLEASE MAKE THESE EDITABLE!!!  It makes my newsletter look unprofessional and horrible with different text size, etc
