Instant Polls

Want to know what members are thinking? Instant Polls let you gather one-click feedback right from your email.

• Engage instantly: Members vote with a single click on a CTA link or button in your emails. This component can be added and set up through your Vortex, no separate survey needed.
• Real-time results: Polls display live percentages on a branded landing page with your logo and custom intro text.
• Actionable insights: Export the full list of who voted and how they voted to follow up or re-target messaging.
• Important note: Polls only work in a live send (not in test emails or hyperlinks), and are limited to single-choice responses.

Table of Contents: A Better Way to Navigate Long Newsletters

For emails packed with information—such as board updates, event recaps, or multi-section newsletters—a Table of Contents helps members get to the content they care about quickly.

• Easy navigation: Links at the top let readers jump directly to specific sections.
• Improved readability: Makes long emails feel less overwhelming and more accessible.
• Device considerations: Due to a known Gmail mobile glitch, we sometimes leave the Table of Contents out of the mobile view to ensure a smooth reading experience.
