Gateway RPC

Method: poll Params:
  • to (string, required)
  • question (string, required)
  • options (string[], required)
  • maxSelections (number, optional)
  • durationHours (number, optional)
  • channel (string, optional, default: whatsapp)
  • idempotencyKey (string, required)

​
Channel differences

  • WhatsApp: 2-12 options, maxSelections must be within option count, ignores durationHours.
  • Discord: 2-10 options, durationHours clamped to 1-768 hours (default 24). maxSelections > 1 enables multi-select; Discord does not support a strict selection count.
  • MS Teams: Adaptive Card polls (Clawdia-managed). No native poll API; durationHours is ignored.

​
Agent tool (Message)

Use the message tool with poll action (to, pollQuestion, pollOption, optional pollMulti, pollDurationHours, channel). Note: Discord has no “pick exactly N” mode; pollMulti maps to multi-select. Teams polls are rendered as Adaptive Cards and require the gateway to stay online to record votes in ~/.clawdia/msteams-polls.json.
