2. Integrating the Dynamic Widget

Integrating a live poll directly into your own website or CMS page is simple using our secure iframe integration codes.

Copying the Widget Code

Navigate to the poll's Manage Dashboard page, select the "Share & Embed" card, and click copy on the responsive integration code:

HTML / IFRAME embed-widget.html
<iframe src="https://pollflux.com/poll/widget/YOUR-POLL-ID" width="100%" height="500" frameborder="0" style="border:1px solid #EAEAEA; border-radius:16px; box-shadow:0 10px 30px rgba(0,0,0,0.08);"></iframe>
Key Widget Capabilities:
  • Fluid Design: Standard 100% width scaling allows the widget container to adapt seamlessly to responsive page grids.
  • Socket Sync: Embedded scripts run on top of SignalR clients. Counts automatically refresh without triggering parent web refreshes.

3. Inspecting Live Analytics & Stats

The administrative workspace displays live metrics showing voter behaviors and trending velocities:

  • Time Range Filters: Dynamically filter database timelines between 10 Minutes, 1 Hour, and 24 Hours.
  • Interactive Standings Grid: Real-time row reordering shifts option columns instantly as vote margins fluctuate.
  • Velocity Line Charts: Monitor user voting frequencies. Empty state templates render dynamically if activity levels fall.

4. Lifecycle Controls & Configurations

Configure the active operational state of your poll using controls in the administrative dashboard:

  • Lock/Unlock Submissions: Temporarily pause voting inputs while maintaining public read access to static results standings.
  • Reset Database Metrics: Instantly wipe voting histories and set all option tallies back to 0.
  • Permanent Deletion: Irreversibly delete option associations, vote arrays, and public embed widgets from primary databases.
