  3. Below the question, list the possible options you want to present for the poll, and for each option, add an emoji as a reaction to represent the choice. You can use emojis like thumbs up 👍, thumbs down 👎, or any other relevant emoji for each option.

  4. Once the options are listed with corresponding emojis, press "Enter" to send the message.

  5. After sending the message, users can vote by reacting to the message with the emoji that corresponds to their choice.

  7. You can monitor the votes by viewing the emoji reactions and counting the number of reactions for each emoji.
