Currently, we do not offer this feature because most email servers disable javascript. We may decide to add this in the near future. In the meantime, you'll need to use the "Poll Link" feature under "Collect" section to paste the link inside an email. This will allow respondents to click on the link and take the poll.

The other option is deny access to the respondent based on their IP Address. This can be found under the Poll Security option in the poll option section

If a problem is discovered later, certain IP addresses and ranges can be filtered out of the results and removed.
