We just added a feature that was long overdue. You can now receive an email notification each time someone answers your poll.

You could for example rename it to "Contact Form" or "Mother's Day Contest". Fortunately, changing a tab's name can easily be done by following these steps:
Following the Facebook privacy stories of last week and the European Union GDPR regulation coming into force next month, we made a few changes to the Polls for Pages app to give participants more explicit control on the information they share with poll creators. Here are the changes you will notice starting this week when creating a poll:
