Overview
This node operation sends a poll message via the WARest WhatsApp REST API. It allows users to specify a session, recipient chat, poll question, and multiple poll options. Additional settings such as maximum selections allowed and message-related options (e.g., presence indicator, reply to message ID, mark as forwarded) can also be configured. This node is useful for creating interactive polls in WhatsApp chats, enabling engagement and feedback collection from chat participants.
