Feedback Widget for Next.js

Create a Feedback Widget for your Next.js site with two steps. The submitted message will be sent to your Slack channel.

No backend required! See the demo

Install

1. Install Package

yarn add @upstash/feedback

2. Environment Variables

Then create a .env file at the root directory of your application and add your webhook URL (Slack, Discord etc).

SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL='my-secret-webhook-url'

SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL can be found at the Slack integration page in https://api.slack.com/messaging/webhooks

3. Import CSS and Widget

// pages/_app.jsimport"@upstash/feedback/index.css";importFeedbackWidgetfrom"@upstash/feedback";exportdefaultfunctionMyApp({ Component, pageProps }){return(<><FeedbackWidget/><Component{...pageProps}/></>);}

4. Create API

// pages/api/feedback.jsimportcreateFeedbackAPIfrom"@upstash/feedback/api";exportdefaultcreateFeedbackAPI({webhooks: [process.env.SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL],});

You can create multiple webhooks for multiple channels. Seperate them with a comma [process.env.SLACK1_WEBHOOK_URL, process.env.SLACK2_WEBHOOK_URL, process.env.DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL]

Options

The options can be passed as React props

key	type	default	accept
user?	string
metadata?	object	null
type?	string	"form"	'form', 'rate', 'full'
apiPath?	string	'api/feedback'
themeColor?	string	'#5f6c72'
textColor?	string	'#ffffff'
title	string, React.ReactElement
description	string, React.ReactElement
showOnInitial?	boolean	false

If you already have an id (or email) for the current user, you can pass it to the component as a parameter, so the feedback will be stored together with the user's id.

<FeedbackWidgettype="full"user={currentUser.email}/>

Also, you can set a user id just to hide email input, so the form can be submitted anonymously.

<FeedbackWidgettype="full"user="anything"/>
