Security scanners in company mail systems open every link in an email, so a poll that counts a click as a vote gets a vote for every option. In HawkOpen a poll link only opens a confirmation page; the vote counts when the person presses the confirm button.
Checked:
Scanners follow links but do not press buttons on the page, so they leave no vote. A repeated vote from the same voter is not counted twice; the person sees that their vote was already recorded. Without a personal voter code in the link, HawkOpen tells voters apart by their connection, so two people on the same office network may count as one voter.
For link clicks in ordinary emails, HawkOpen labels likely scanner clicks instead of counting them as people. Polls are part of the Business plan.
Yes. Create the poll in HawkOpen, copy the link for each answer and paste the links into your Outlook email. Because they are ordinary links, they work in Outlook on the web, in the desktop app and in any other mail app. Polls are part of the Business plan.
On the Business plan: create the poll in HawkOpen with one question and 2 to 6 answers, copy the link HawkOpen gives for each answer, and put the links into your email as text or buttons. They are ordinary links, so they work in Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail and other mail apps.
No. A HawkOpen poll is one question with a single choice among 2 to 6 answers; recipients cannot pick several or write their own text.
You see only the number of votes and the percentage for each answer, not names or email addresses. To stop double voting, HawkOpen keeps a coded fingerprint of the voter’s connection (or of a voter code in the link), which it does not show to you.
In the HawkOpen dashboard, under Polls: each poll shows the votes and the percentage for each answer and the total. There is no export file; copy the numbers if you need them elsewhere.
No. A HawkOpen poll has no end date and cannot be closed; its links keep accepting votes. If timing matters, state the deadline in your email and read the results at that time.
HawkOpen does not embed other services’ forms. Most mail apps do not run embedded forms anyway, so the usual way is a link to the form in the email. HawkOpen’s own poll works the same way: one link per answer, with a confirmation page.
