Answers in their own time.
Offbeat by Defib is the poll that waits for you. It is the same anonymous poll as Pulse, sent by email or Slack, open for a window you choose, with the results sent when it closes.
Send it. Leave it. Read it.
-
Send it
Pick the people, write your questions and choose email, Slack or both. Everyone gets the same link.
-
Leave it
It stays open for 24 hours, three days, a week, two weeks or until a date you set. People answer when it suits them.
-
Read it
It closes by itself, saves a report and sends the results: to you alone, or to everyone it was sent to.
What is in it today.
Everything listed here is built into the app today. Nothing on this page is a plan.
No sign-in to answer
The link opens the poll. There is no account, no name and nothing to install.
One reminder, sent to everyone
You can switch on a single reminder. It goes to everyone, because Offbeat does not know who has already answered.
Change your mind while it is open
Add people, move the closing time or close it now.
A link you can paste anywhere
Copy the link into a chat or a document. It works until the Offbeat closes, and then says so.
A summary for everyone who answered
When it closes, the link shows each person what they answered beside how the group answered, on the device they answered from.
English emails, for now
The poll itself is in English, Spanish and French. The emails that carry the link and the results are in English only.
Still anonymous, even by email.
Everyone gets the same link, and Offbeat does not record who opened it or who answered. The list of people you sent it to is kept apart from the answers, and nothing links the two.
One honest limit: in a very small group, an answer can sometimes be guessed from what it says. An admin can set a smallest number of answers before any result is shown.
