- Hosted in GermanySelf-hosted in Germany. 30 days after it expires, the invitation is deleted along with all its responses.
Everyone quickly says if they’re coming
One question, three answers. Only you see who said what – everyone else sees only their own response.
- Optionally ask how many are coming along – the overview counts people, not responses
- Reply deadline: “Please reply by …” – after that the invitation is closed
- After saying yes, add the date to your own calendar
- Change the date later – anyone who already responded sees a note the next time they open the link
Example “Holiday party”: Friday, December 11, 6:30 PM – everyone answers Going, Not going or Not sure yet; only the person who invited them sees the responses.
Only you see the responses, with names: Ben is coming with one guest, Lena is coming, and Jonas is coming with two guests – six people in all. Paul isn’t coming, Mia and Jule don’t know yet. Everyone else sees only their own answer.
Frequently asked questions
More questions are answered in the Help.
A poll in the chat is enough for a quick question. The guide explains when a link can do more. WhatsApp poll or a link?
How do RSVPs work?
In three steps: You enter the date, with a time or all-day, plus place and notes. Then you send the link to your group or by email – nobody needs an account. Everyone accepts or declines, and in the admin view you see by name who is coming, who is not and who does not know yet.
Do participants need an account?
No. They open the link, tap their answer and enter their name. On the same device they can change their response later.
What do RSVPs cost?
Nothing. Polls is free and shows no ads – for you and for everyone taking part.
Can others see who’s going and who isn’t?
No. Only you see who’s going, who isn’t and who’s not sure yet – on the manage page, with names and times. Participants see only their own response, neither the names nor the numbers of others.
What happens if the date changes?
You change it on the manage page; the responses stay. Polls doesn’t notify anyone – so let the group know yourself. Anyone who already responded sees that the date was changed the next time they open the link and can update their response; on the manage page you see who responded before the change.
Can I set a deadline?
Yes, optionally when you create the invitation or later in the admin area: a day by which everyone should reply. It appears at the top of the invitation (“Please reply by …”). After that the invitation is closed, and the responses stay in the admin area. Polls doesn’t remind anyone – tell the group yourself if replies are still missing.
Can I ask how many people are coming?
Yes, optionally when you create the invitation. Whoever says Going then enters how many people that is, counting themselves. In the admin area you see the total number of people, with names and the number for each response; nobody else sees this.
What happens to our data?
Polls only stores what the invitation needs: its content, names and responses. IP addresses never end up in the database, there are no trackers from other companies, and everything sits on a server in Germany. When the invitation is deleted, all its data goes with it.
What happens if I lose the link to manage (admin link)?
Once your invitation is created, Polls shows you your admin link – copy it or sign in by email, no password needed. Then you’ll find your invitations on any device under “My polls”. Without signing in, a lost admin link can’t be recovered.
How long does the invitation stay up?
It expires 30 days after its date, at the latest one year after it was created. 30 days after it expires, it is permanently deleted with all responses. You can also delete it yourself at any time.
Can I send the link to my WhatsApp group?
Yes. Copy the link and paste it into your WhatsApp, Signal, or Threema group – or into any other messenger or an email. Whoever opens it joins in the browser, with no account and no app.
