Reader polls arrive in beta, trial emails can be set per tier, and you can now clone a previous email campaign - Author: Andrew Nikolaenko - Tags: #changelog A lot of fixes and a fun new tool: **Polls are in Labs as a beta , just ahead of the midterms in the U.S. (Luna-only for the beta)** You can now ask your audience a question from a block inside a post, and send it in the newsletter, where readers can vote (and change their vote) right from the Ghost newsletter. A bunch of fixes are included in the release; but nothing that changes what you do every day, unless you want to try out the polls. Note we are documenting two release here: 3.26 and 3.27\. Someone forgot to send last week... | The Polls are Open Polls are in **beta** in Outpost as of today, Wednesday October 21\. These can go in posts on your sites *and* in newsletters, where readers can vote straight from the newsletter without logging into [Ghost](https://ghost.org/?ref=outpost.pub). Defaults now are polls are for only for members, but that includes free and paid. Anonymous or non-anonymous polls. Single choice or choose more than one option. Would you use this poll feature?

Maybe twice a day, even](https://outpostpublishingcoopcom.outpost.pub/plugin-api/reader-poll/84ac3048-6c8b-464b-abb4-f08d672e4a52/5d974a02-9ff8-463e-af2b-95103f95c221/email-vote/%%%7Buuid%7D%%?option=6hxz1tuc&src=ghost%5Fnewsletter&e=hjopgxejxyxj&ref=outpost.pub) [Maybe weekly?](https://outpostpublishingcoopcom.outpost.pub/plugin-api/reader-poll/84ac3048-6c8b-464b-abb4-f08d672e4a52/5d974a02-9ff8-463e-af2b-95103f95c221/email-vote/%%%7Buuid%7D%%?option=7r7rutlm&src=ghost%5Fnewsletter&e=hjopgxejxyxj&ref=outpost.pub) [Like how most people treat bubbly wine: special occasions only](https://outpostpublishingcoopcom.outpost.pub/plugin-api/reader-poll/84ac3048-6c8b-464b-abb4-f08d672e4a52/5d974a02-9ff8-463e-af2b-95103f95c221/email-vote/%%%7Buuid%7D%%?option=ob8f4xah&src=ghost%5Fnewsletter&e=hjopgxejxyxj&ref=outpost.pub) [Not really something I care about](https://outpostpublishingcoopcom.outpost.pub/plugin-api/reader-poll/84ac3048-6c8b-464b-abb4-f08d672e4a52/5d974a02-9ff8-463e-af2b-95103f95c221/email-vote/%%%7Buuid%7D%%?option=8denzuzy&src=ghost%5Fnewsletter&e=hjopgxejxyxj&ref=outpost.pub) Click an option to vote. | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Polls are out and the fixes are in | 8 ADDED 2 CHANGED 23 FIXED 1 IMPROVED | | ------------------------------------- | | | | | ## Highlights | 🗳️ Reader polls, in beta Ask readers a question: include it in a post or a newsletter or both. Readers vote from wherever they see it. It's in beta, but already has some nice features including being able to choose multiple optoins, auto-closing of the poll, and your choice whether votes are anonymous or not. There's a small fix for dark mode in Gmail on mobile coming, so you might want to wait til Friday to use this in production. VOYAGER and LUNA+ only. | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | 📋 A little more control over campaigns You can now clone a campaign instead of rebuilding it, and if your campaign is about getting people to register for an event, emails won't go to those who already registered. | | | | ⏳ Trial reminder emails by tier You can now write a different message for each tier in the trial welcome email and the second and third trial reminders. | | | | | |

an event can skip members already registered for that event 📋 Publishers can clone a campaign to run a version of it again 🗂️ The email templates list shows each template’s ID, which flows, campaigns and autoresponders send it, and which templates aren't in use 🏷️ Different messages for each tier on the free trial welcome email and the second and third trial reminders 🗓️ Events whose sign-up happens on another site, such as Eventbrite, which still appear in your events listing, event cards and homepage rail 🧾 Company name, VAT ID and address fields for group subscription buyers at checkout for self-serve, plus an optional company name on direct invoices 🏠 Homepage curation got more flexible with how items in sections work | |

| | | | FIXED 23 items 🚦 Fixed an issue where some readers trying to unsubscribe were being refused with “Too Many Attempts” after a single try 🧱 Fixed how the metered registration walls and metered
