The Gravity Forms Polls add-on adds poll fields to standard forms, capturing voter choices as entry meta values keyed by the poll field ID. Each vote lands in wp_gf_entry and wp_gf_entry_meta, with the chosen option stored as text. The default Gravity entries grid shows each vote as a row but loses every signal about voter intent, follow-up opportunity, or engagement velocity across poll options.

SleekView reads wp_gf_entry directly, joins to wp_gf_entry_meta, and exposes every poll field choice as a possible grouping axis. The natural one is the chosen poll option itself, which turns the board into a real-time poll results visualization with each option as a column and voter cards in each. You can also group by entry status, by a custom Outreach stage meta field for voter follow-up, or by any voter-info field captured alongside the vote.

Dragging a card writes the new value through GFAPI::update_entry and fires gform_post_update_entry, firing every notification, Zapier feed, and add-on hook listening to entry changes. Trashed votes are filtered out of active boards by default but can be exposed on a hygiene audit board so the team can see which votes were flagged as inauthentic and tune any anti-fraud filtering rules.

The Gravity Forms Polls add-on is excellent at running polls, but its admin treats every vote as a row in the standard Gravity entries grid with no real-time results visualization. That works for an internal poll where you read results at the end. It stops working the moment polls are running on a public site and the team wants to see live results, follow up with high-intent voters, and convert engaged respondents into customers or community members.

A kanban board fixes the part the add-on was never designed to fix: live results visualization plus voter follow-up workflow. Each column shows how many voters chose each option in real time, so marketing can see results unfold and prioritize outreach to high-intent voters before the moment passes. Status changes happen with a drag instead of three clicks per entry, which compounds quickly once you are processing hundreds of votes a day during a viral poll.

Because every column maps back to real entry meta, the board is not a parallel system that drifts. The end result is a Gravity admin that finally matches how engagement teams actually work.
