# Posts, Polls and Surveys

> Keep your circle talking between events with posts, contribution posts, quick polls and AI-generated surveys.

The circle's feed keeps the group together between events. On the circle page, open **Posts & Polls** from the right edge of the page, click **Create** and choose what to make.

## Post

Share your thoughts, news and photos with the circle: a welcome for new members, photos from the last meet, or a reminder of what's coming up.

### Collect contributions on a post

In an organization, a post can also **collect money for a cause**: a scholarship fund, a batch gift, relief for a member in need, or the kitty for the next reunion. Members contribute straight from the post.

| Field | What it does |
| - | - |
| **Goal amount** | Optional. The total you're aiming to raise. |
| **Contribution End Date** | Optional. When the collection closes. |
| **Contribution Options** | Required. Add **preset amounts** for members to pick from, let members **enter a custom amount**, or both. |
| **Razorpay account** | Required. The account contributions are paid into. |

<Note>
  Contributions go through your organization's own **Razorpay** account, so the money goes straight to you. Fast Party never holds it. If no account is listed, an admin needs to add one first in [organization settings](/organizations/setup#payments).
</Note>

## Poll

Ask one question with a few options, such as which date works best, and set how long the poll stays open.

<Tip>
  A poll is the quickest way to get a quiet group talking. "Which Saturday works for the next meet?" gets more replies than a post.
</Tip>

## Survey form

When you need several answers at once, let AI build the form for you. You describe what you want to find out, and Fast Party writes a complete survey: a title, a description, and a set of questions, each with the right way to answer.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Describe what you want to collect">
    Choose **Create a survey form** and write a line or two in plain language, then click **Generate a survey form**.

    </Frame>

    For example: *"CBIT Fresher Skills Survey. Gather insights from alumni on essential skills for CBIT freshers in 2027."*
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the form it builds">
    You get a ready-to-send survey with a **Form Title**, a **Form Description** and the questions. Each question comes with a suitable answer type, such as a 1 to 5 rating from Low to High.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Make it yours">
    Everything is editable before you send it:

    * **Edit** the title, description or any question's wording
    * **Change the answer type**, for example from a text answer to a rating
    * **Delete** questions you don't need
    * **Reorder** questions by dragging the handle at the top of each one
  </Step>

  <Step title="Share it">
    Click **Share** to send the survey to the circle, or **Discard** to start again.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  The more specific your description, the better the questions. Say who's answering and what you'll do with the results: "Ask alumni which skills freshers lack most, so we can plan next year's workshops."
