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:

Iframe Embed Code HTML 
<iframe src="https://PollFlux.net/widget/poll/YOUR-POLL-ID" width="100%" height="450px" style="border:none; border-radius:12px; box-shadow:0 4px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.05);"></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.
