Ever brainstorm a fantastic Twitter poll question, only to realize it's 3 am and your audience is fast asleep? Or maybe you're a social media whiz who wants to plan your content calendar in advance (because who doesn't love a little peace of mind?).
Twitter itself doesn't offer built-in scheduling for polls (yet!),but there is an awesome third-party tool that can help you craft and unleash your polls at the perfect time: Circleboom!
How to Schedule Twitter Polls?
It's quite easy to schedule Twitter polls through Circleboom's new dashboard.
Step #1: Log in to Circleboom Twitter.
As an official Twitter partner, Circleboom is safe and compliant with all platform policies.
Step #2: From the left-hand menu, click on X Post Planner to open the new publishing dashboard.
This section gives you access to advanced scheduling, poll creation, AI tools, and more.
Step #3: On this new dashboard, you'll see many features like Tweet design tools, Twitter thread maker, AI Tweet Generator, etc. as buttons.
"Add poll" is one of these buttons. So type in your question and click on that button.
Step #4: After asking your question, all you need to do is craft your poll like you would natively on Twitter.
Enter your different answer options (up to 4 answers), and set how long the poll will stay active (up to 7 days).
You can also turn your Twitter poll into a thread or use Circleboom's built-in AI to enhance your text—by rewriting, shortening, or adding relevant hashtags.
🌀 Bonus: You can even set your poll to auto-retweet after posting using Circleboom’s Auto Repost feature—boosting its reach automatically!
Step #5: Once your poll is ready, you can post it immediately or schedule it for later—a feature not available on X itself.
Pick a specific time manually or use your best time to post based on Circleboom's smart suggestions.
If you already created your posting calendar on Circleboom, you can also add it to your posting queue, which helps you automate your Twitter posts!
And voila! Your poll is on the go. Now, sit back and enjoy the engagement it brings.
Yes, it's "your" best time to post on Twitter because it's unique to each profile and depends on the activity of anyone's audience.
