Can we create a poll for users to vote?

[JosNas]

Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to to create a poll and share it with the CRM's users so they could vote for something. Is this doable?

Thank you in advance.

Vote for what as example?

Chocolate or Strawberry cake for example. I guess it just a voting/polling feature.

This might not be exactly what you're asking about, but I would like to create a way for users to rank records.

-For example, a company record would have a field called "Openness to new business score."

-User could rate a company as follows:

1. Company is easy to work with, timely in communicating, open to new business partnerships.

2. Company is average to work with.

3. Company is difficult to work with, not responsive, very set in their ways and not open to new business partnerships.


Each time a user ranks the records, their score is added to table. The average score of all user ratings is displayed in the field I mentioned earlier, called "Openness to new business score."

Basically let's say my CRM is for an organization. A user let's say creates a poll to pitch a new idea. Below are 2 examples:
1) Who agrees to hold a dinner for the organization: Yes / No -> 30 users let's say vote 'Yes' and 20 users vote 'No'
2) Voting inside the organization for a new President: Person 1, Person 2, Person 3 -> 10 users vote for Person 1, 15 users vote for Person 2, 25 users vote for Person 3.
3) etc...

Here's an example plugin from SuiteCRM that allows a user to rate (1-5 stars) a specific record. Scoring and Rating field widget | SuiteCRM Module

Has anyone created a plugin or extension like this for EspoCRM? Would be happy to purchase it.

There is already an extension that is almost what you want, developed by @eymen-elkum

You're exactly right. I just found it after posting my question. Thanks for the quick response.

A simple Poll module (not for rating) would with the following features would be great:

- adding a question
- possible answers should be yes, no, abstention
- adding contacts to the poll
- send email notifications to the contacts
- link the poll to accounts
- overview about the answers per contact (like in the meeting module)
(- available for portal users)

The thing would be similar to the meeting module, where you can send invitation mails to the contacts with the possibility to answer. Simple and powerfull

I am up to pay for something like this.

To beginn with, i think it would be enough to copy the meeting module with all its relations, rename it to "polls" and make it possible to install / run it as own module. Essential would be the possibility to send invitation email and to alter the email template (just like the meeting module). For further developement I would test it in a live environment.

While I am just a stupid user, with even more stupid ideas, I want to ask if this is even possible and how hard it would be to realize it.
