## Additional options

- `--secret`: Do not display the number of votes until the poll is ended
- `--public`: Show who voted for what at the end of the poll
- `--votes=X`: Allows users to place a total of *X* votes. Default is 1.
Each individual option can still only be voted once.

Setup

## Setup

Copy `settings.py.example` to `settings.py` and customise your settings.

Start the server:
```

```bash
python run.py
```
In Mattermost go to *Main Menu -> Integrations -> Slash Commands* and add a new slash command with the URL of the server including the configured port number, e.g. http://localhost:5000.
Choose POST for the request method.
Optionally add the generated token to your `settings.py` (requires server restart).

1. Edit your Mattermost `config.json` to include "localhost" in the "AllowedUntrustedInternalConnections" setting, e.g. `"AllowedUntrustedInternalConnections": "localhost"`

To resolve usernames in `--public` polls, the server needs access to the
Mattermost API. For this a [personal access token](https://docs.mattermost.com/developer/personal-access-tokens.html) must be provided in your `settings.py`. Which user provides the token doesn't matter, e.g. you can create a dummy account. If no token is provided `--public` polls will not be available.
