Polls & Announcements
Publish Discord polls and live announcements from the dashboard.
How it works
The dashboard message tools send announcements and native Discord polls without requiring staff to compose them through a bot command.
Before you start
- Select a channel Airwavy can view and send messages in.
- For polls, make sure the destination supports Discord's native poll feature.
Configure it
- Open Polls & Announcements in the dashboard.
- Choose Announcements or Polls and select a server text or announcement channel.
- Compose the content, review the available preview or poll settings, send, and verify the published message in Discord.
Announcements
- Send up to 2,000 characters of message text, up to five structured component blocks, or a supported combination of both.
- The dashboard preview shows the intended component layout before publishing.
- At least one text or component block is required, and the destination must be a server text or announcement channel.
- Review links, buttons, mentions, and channel visibility before sending to a large audience.
Native Discord polls
- Write a question of up to 300 characters and provide from two through ten non-empty answers of up to 55 characters each.
- Polls can run for 1 through 168 hours and can allow either one answer or multiple selections per voter.
- An optional introduction of up to 2,000 characters can accompany the poll.
- Voting and the final native poll presentation are handled by Discord after Airwavy publishes the message.
Expected result
- The announcement or poll appears in the chosen channel.
- Native poll votes are handled by Discord on the published message.
Common errors
Discord rejects the message
Check content and option limits, then verify View Channel, Send Messages, and any poll-specific Discord permission in the destination.
Saved changes do not take effect
Reload the feature page and confirm the saved values. Then verify that the selected Discord channel or role still exists and that Airwavy can access it.
Discord reports missing permissions
Check the permission on both the server role and the target channel. Channel overwrites and role hierarchy can deny an action even when the server-level permission is present.
