QR posters and pulse presets

You can put a poll QR code on a printed poster or a presentation screen so people in the room can answer on their phones without an email list or access codes. InviziPoll also includes three built-in pulse presets for quick in-person check-ins and standing speak-up channels.

#Pulse presets

A preset is a starting point; a poll with its questions already written, which you can edit before sending. Three are built for in-person pulses:

Pick one on the wizard's Template step when creating a poll, or start from invizipoll.com/pulse, where the printed poster's QR code lands: choosing a preset there opens the builder with it already loaded. That works whether you're new (sign up, and the preset follows you into your first poll) or already signed in to a workspace.

These three sit among the 13 built-in templates on the Template step, alongside ones like a board vote, an exit pool and a new hire check-in. Your team can add its own too: see workspace poll templates.

The always-on speak-up channel is meant to stay open indefinitely rather than run as a campaign; it starts with an open link and a far-off end date, so you can leave the QR poster up. It also turns on anonymous replies, so people who raise something can hear back. Its minimum group size is 3, so a lone first report waits until three have arrived; after that, each new report reaches you on its own as it arrives.

#What works on the free plan

The eNPS and one-word presets, the open link and the asset pack work on the free plan. The speak-up preset's anonymous replies need an active trial or a paid plan: on the free plan the poll won't publish with replies on, so switch replies off first, or upgrade.

Results release the same way on every plan. Nothing's readable until the poll's minimum group size has answered, and that's never below three. While the poll's open, the first results appear three answers after that, then new answers reach you in random groups of three to five, with a few always held in reserve until the poll closes. At close, everything shows. No change you see can be pinned on one person, which matters in a room where you can watch who just scanned. How batched release works.

#Showing the code

A poll with an open link has a Public respond link box on its page with three controls:

• Present fills the screen with the poll title, a large QR code, the respondent URL and a one-line encryption note. Use it on the big screen at an all-hands.
• Asset pack downloads a PDF to print or drop into a deck (below).
• Show QR shows the code on the page, for sharing a poll across a table without printing anything.

#The QR asset pack

Asset pack gives you a single PDF containing two pages:

• A 16
  slide: drop it into an all-hands deck.
• An A4 poster: print it for a wall, a kitchen, or a break room.

Both carry the poll title, the QR code, the respondent URL as text, and a line saying the answer is encrypted in the respondent's browser.

The PDF is generated in your browser. The poll's link and title aren't sent anywhere to build it.

#Choosing an access model

A QR poster works best with an open-link poll, which is the default for a workspace with no contact lists (if yours has one, new polls start as Private, so switch to Open link for a poster): anyone who can see the poster can respond. That's the point, and it's also the trade-off; you can't restrict responses to a known list, so treat the room as the audience boundary.

If you need to know that only your team responded, use personal invite links or access codes instead and skip the poster. Don't print a QR for an access-code poll: the code can't travel on the poster without defeating it.

#Practical notes

Print at a sensible size. The A4 poster's QR code is 110 mm square, which scans reliably from a couple of metres; shrinking the page to A5 roughly halves that. The URL is printed as text underneath, so anyone whose camera fails can still type it.

Put the poster where people are alone. A QR beside a manager's desk gets fewer scans than one inside a bathroom stall or a lift, and the difference isn't about convenience.

Retention still applies. Poster-driven responses follow the retention period you set on the poll, like any other response.
