whatsapp_send_poll

macOS

Purpose

Sends a poll to a WhatsApp chat/group — everyone in the chat sees it. chat_id MUST come from whatsapp_list_chats / whatsapp_list_groups. It is a write operation: the first call (confirm=false) returns a preview without sending; set confirm=true to actually send. Give 2–12 options; set multi>1 to allow picking several. Read results later with whatsapp_read_poll (whose count is indicative — see that tool). ⚠️ Uses Wacli (unofficial WhatsApp client). Accounts may be restricted for ToS violations.

Required inputs

• chat_id — Chat/group JID from whatsapp_list_chats/whatsapp_list_groups
• question — Poll question
• options — 2–12 poll options

Permissions and confirmation

Explicit confirmation parameter: inspect the schema and tool description before any real call. The documentation example keeps confirm false. Obtain user authorization before performing the action.

• Use only the apps, accounts and resources authorized by the user on this platform. Consult this tool's platform-specific description for its connection and permission requirements; this catalog does not assert additional OAuth scopes or OS entitlements.
