Engagement & Community template
Social Media Poll Ideas
Generate diverse poll ideas designed to maximize participation. This is the exact template that ships in Nimply’s AI Content Studio — the full prompt is below, with every fill-in variable highlighted.
The full prompt
Generate [count] poll ideas for [platform] in the [industry] niche. Each poll should: have a clear, engaging question (under 100 characters), include 2-4 answer options that are balanced and interesting, spark genuine debate or curiosity, and be relevant to [audience]. Provide polls in these categories: industry opinion (5), "this or that" preferences (5), prediction/forecast (3), personal habit/behavior (3), and fun/lighthearted (4). For each, include a suggested follow-up post to share the results and keep the conversation going. Tone: [tone].
Copy it anywhere, or open it in Nimply where each highlighted variable becomes a form field and the output lands as a draft in your planner.

Craft notes
Getting the most from engagement & community templates
- Ask questions with answerable specificity — "what tool did you drop this year?" beats "what are your thoughts on tools?"
- Reply to every early answer; the first hour of comments decides whether the thread compounds.
- Poll options should each represent a real position someone is proud to pick.
- Rituals (a weekly prompt, a recurring format) outperform one-offs because the audience learns to show up for them.
