Trigger: Team Poll Closed

The Team Poll Closed trigger fires a workflow the moment a poll created inside a Team Space closes, whether by reaching its deadline or being closed manually.

When to use it

Use it to automate what happens after an internal vote: announce the result without manual work, create a task with the winning option, or fire an outbound integration (e.g. notify a catering vendor based on a lunch poll's result).

Configuration

In the Trigger node pick "Team Poll Closed" and configure:

• Space: limit the trigger to one Space (empty = any).

Available variables

• $trigger.poll_id
• $trigger.message_id
• $trigger.space_id
• $trigger.question
• $trigger.winning_option (null on a tie or no votes)
• $trigger.winning_votes
• $trigger.total_votes
• $trigger.created_by

Example

Workflow "Lunch poll result": Trigger = Team Poll Closed, Space filter = "Cafeteria". Action 1: post a message in the Space with Winner: {{$trigger.winning_option}} ({{$trigger.winning_votes}} of {{$trigger.total_votes}} votes). Action 2: send an outbound webhook to the ordering system with the winning option.

Tips

• Add a condition checking whether $trigger.winning_option is null before announcing a winner, to handle a tie with no votes gracefully.
• Pair it with "Team Reminder Due" to nudge people to vote before the poll closes.

Troubleshooting

If the workflow doesn't run, confirm the poll actually closed (deadline reached or manually closed by its creator) — the event doesn't fire while it's still open.
