Polls and Message Options

Last updated October 28, 2026

Grids has extra tools that help groups decide things and make sure important messages are seen. This page covers polls and every option you can add to a message.

Polls

Polls are the quickest way to let a group decide something, like a date, a place or a plan.

Create a poll

Open the group in Grids.
Choose Create a Poll.
Type the Question.
Fill in the Options. Use Add Option to add more. A poll needs at least 2 options and can have up to 10.
Turn on Allow Multiple Answers if people may pick more than one option.
Send the poll.

Members tap an option to vote. Open Poll Results to see how many votes each option has.

You can also ask the AI to create a poll for you and report the votes later. See the AI in Grids page.

Message Options

Before you send a message, open Message Options in the message box. You can set three things.

Option	What it does
Priority	Normal, High or Urgent. High and Urgent messages show a High Priority or Urgent badge.
Auto-Delete At (Optional)	Pick a date and time. The message deletes itself then.
Schedule For (Optional)	Pick a date and time. The message is sent then, not now.

Scheduled messages

Messages you schedule wait in Scheduled Messages until their time. Open it to check what is waiting.

Only people can schedule Grid messages. The AI cannot post into a group on a schedule.

Example: tomorrow's reminder

Type "Reminder: meeting at 10 am, please bring your notes."
Open Message Options.
Set Priority to Urgent.
Set Schedule For to tomorrow at 8 am.
Send. The message goes out at 8 am with an Urgent badge.

The AI chat also has its own Schedules, but those send reminders only to you, by email or WhatsApp. To send a message into a group later, use Schedule For here.

Pin messages

Keep an important message at the top of a chat with Pin message. Choose how long it stays pinned:

24 hours
7 days
30 days

Star messages

Star any message to save it for later. Open Starred messages to see everything you starred in one place.

Disappearing messages

Turn on Disappearing messages in a chat to have new messages delete themselves after a set time:

24 hours
7 days
90 days

This is handy for casual chats where you don't need to keep the history.

Read receipts

Want to know who has seen your message? Open Message Info on a message you sent. It shows:

Read by — people who have opened it
Delivered to — people it reached who haven't opened it yet
Sent — when it left

This works well for updates in a group: post the update, then check Read by later.

Other handy tools

Search in chat to find an old message.
Mention all members in this chat to get everyone's attention in a group.
Forward message to to pass a message on to another chat.
Reactions and replies to answer a single message.
