Feedback Fin

A tiny widget to collect feedback anywhere on your website. That’s it.

Try the widget ↗

Quick Start

Load the widget on your page:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/feedbackfin@^1" defer></script>

Setup a webhook URL (read instructions in the next section) and configure that in the script. Optionally, add any user info that you want to pass in from the website:

<script>
  window.feedbackfin = { config: {}, ...window.feedbackfin };
  window.feedbackfin.config.url = "https://rowy-hooks.run.app/wh/...";
  window.feedbackfin.config.user = { name: "...", email: "..." };
</script>

Set a button to open the widget:

<button data-feedbackfin-button>Feedback</button>

Setting up a webhook URL

This is the URL to send the feedback to. The widget will make a POST request to this URL with the feedback data as a JSON body.

Generate a webhook URL easily using Rowy's low-code platform and manage feedback data on a collaborative spreadsheet-UI. Optionally, you can further automate on incoming feedback with Rowy's built-in code-editor (eg: notify on team slack/discord, email follow up etc).

Options

Options are set in the window.feedbackfin.config object:

`url`

The URL to send the feedback to. The widget will make a POST request to this URL with the data as a JSON body. See Setting up a webhook URL above.

`user`

An object whose contents will be submitted as part of the form. Note: feedbackType, message, and timestamp are reserved fields and will be overwritten by form values.

Typically:

window.feedbackfin.config.user = {
  name: "...",
  email: "...",
};

`disableErrorAlert`

Optionally, disables displaying alerts if no URL is set or the request fails. Default: disableErrorAlert: false

How it works

When the script is loaded, it looks for any elements with the data-feedbackfin-button attribute and opens the widget when any of those elements are clicked.

<button data-feedbackfin-button>Feedback</button>

The window.feedbackfin object exposes the open, close, and submit methods, so they can also be called directly.

<button onclick="window.feedbackfin.open(event)">Feedback</button>

The widget uses event.target to compute its position using Floating UI.

Customization

The widget is attached just before the closing </body> tag when it is open and respects your page’s font-family. Styles are attached just before the opening <head> tag so your customizations take precedence.

You can customize the widget’s appearance by:

Overriding the CSS variables.

For example, you can change the primary button color using:

:root {
  --feedbackfin-primary-color: #007aff;
  --feedbackfin-primary-color-text: #fff;
}

Overriding the CSS rules. Class names are prefixed with feedbackfin__.

Dark mode

Dark mode is activated when either:

the user sets their system theme to dark
i.e. @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) is true, or
any parent element has a data-theme attribute whose value contains dark.
Example: <body data-theme="dark">

Dark mode colors are set using CSS variables. You can override them with:

@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
  :root {
    ...;
  }
}

[data-theme*="dark"] {
  ...;
}

Accessibility

This widget is built using standard HTML form elements with the appropriate labels.

Focus is trapped within the widget when it is open using focus-trap. Be careful when nesting this widget inside another element with a focus trap.
