When creating a LinkedIn Poll in Social Planner, you can:
- Write a poll question with a limit of 140 characters
- Add between two and four answer options, each up to 30 characters long
- Set the poll to run for 1, 3, 7, or 14 days

Workflow Compatibility
LinkedIn Polls can be used in the following Social Planner workflows:

Important Limitations
Polls on LinkedIn cannot include images, videos, PDFs, or any other media attachments. If you are creating content for multiple social platforms, you can still add media to variants intended for non-LinkedIn networks. However, if media is attached to a LinkedIn post variant, the poll will not be published.
