# Send a poll — Telegram Bot

Botize method — `telegrambot.send_poll` (action).

Send a poll to the users of a chat.

This is an action: it runs as a step of a task. Several can be chained.

## Fields you set

The field's internal name, its type and the values it accepts. These fields accept `{{...}}` tags from earlier steps.

- `chat_id` *(string)*
- `mb_switch` *(boolean)* — Rules
- `question` *(string)* — Poll Question
- `option_0` *(string)* — Answer Options
- `option_1` *(string)*
- `option_2` *(string)*
- `option_3` *(string)*
- `option_4` *(string)*
- `option_5` *(string)*
- `option_6` *(string)*
- `option_7` *(string)*
- `option_8` *(string)*
- `option_9` *(string)*
- `is_anonymous` *(boolean)* — It's an anonymous Quiz
- `poll_type` *(string, one of: "regular" = Regular; "quiz" = Quiz, default: "regular")* — Poll Type
- `correct_option_id` *(string)* — Quiz Correct Answer number
- `explanation` *(string)* — Quiz Explanation
- `message_thread_id` *(string)* — Post within a specific Thread (Topic) ID

It also accepts repeatable field groups, with these prefixes: `mb_filters_*`. These are composite components (buttons, filters, keyboards); the trailing number is set by the user as they are added.

## Output variables

Data this step makes available. Reference them in later steps with the double-brace tag.

- `{{message_id}}` *(text)* — Message Id
- `{{chat_id}}` *(text)* — Chat Id
