## Run it

Ask an AI agent connected to Reduck over MCP (`https://mcp.reduck.ai/mcp`) to run `reduck/web.whatsapp.com/create_poll`, or run it from a terminal:

```bash
npx @reduck-ai/cli@latest run --script reduck/web.whatsapp.com/create_poll
```

## Input

- `name` (string, required): Exact chat/contact/group name (the name from get_inbox).
- `options` (array, required): 2 to 12 poll options. They must all be different — WhatsApp rejects a poll with a repeated option, so this is checked before the poll is started.
- `question` (string, required): The poll question.
- `allowMultiple` (boolean, optional): Let voters pick more than one option. False (the default) sends a single-answer poll, which WhatsApp labels "Select one".

## Output

- `sent` (boolean, required)
- `options` (array, required)
- `question` (string, required)
- `recipient` (string, required)
