Create a group decision
create_decisionCreate a poll, check-in, availability board, or ranking and get a link to share with the group.
Easiest: pass text in plain language and SettleIt infers the type and options, e.g. "Dinner: pizza or thai" (poll), "Who's in for bowling Thursday?" (checkin), "Find a time for dinner next week" (availability), "Rank snacks: chips, popcorn, pretzels" (ranking).
For exact control, pass question plus options (2-5 for polls, 2-12 for rankings); with question alone you get a check-in. Availability must be created from text.
For availability, also pass the user's timezone (IANA name, e.g. "America/Los_Angeles") so the time slots are in their local time; without it slots are in UTC.
Returns the decision (share its url), plus an admin_token and manage_url to keep private.
