Settings
You can configure Matterpoll from System Console > Plugins > Matterpoll.

Usage
/poll "Is Matterpoll great?" creates a poll with the answer options "Yes" and "No". You can also leave out the double quotes and just type /poll Is Matterpoll great?.
If you want to define all answer options by yourself, type /poll "Is Matterpoll great?" "Of course" "In any case" "Definitely"- Note that the double quotes are required in this case.
Poll Settings
Poll Settings provider further customisation, e.g. /poll "Is Matterpoll great?" "Of course" "In any case" "Definitely" --progress --anonymous. The available Poll Settings are:
--anonymous: Don't show who voted for what at the end--progress: During the poll, show how many votes each answer option got
Troubleshooting
Pressing the poll buttons does nothing and creates a 400 error in the Mattermost log
Make sure to set your Site URL properly.
For example, this error happens in case you set SiteURL starting with http://, in spite of running Mattermost server through https.
Poll command returns error Received invalid response from the server
Check system logs. If you find the following message, Matterpoll doesn't support your Mattermost. Please update your Mattermost server.
