Setting up Feedback Widgets
A portable version of the Advanced Web Form, the Feedback Widget can be added to your website. The widgets can be customized for their field values, language, appearance and their position.
Benefits of the Feedback Widget
Unlike the Advanced Web Forms, the Feedback Widget allows your customers to:
- Fill in the predefined fields to raise a support request
- Find answers to their questions using the suggested articles and discussions from your KBase and Community respectively
- Engage with your agents over Live Chat
- Take screen grabs and upload them to add more context to their support requests
Once you create a widget, you can add it to your website as a web embed; load it in pop-up or display in an iframe.
Create a Feedback Widget in three simple steps
- Customize the form - Rename the default form fields according to your requirements.
- Specifying the form details - Add details such as department (where the tickets will be created after the form is submitted), language and the message to be displayed on form submission.
- Use source code to embed - Embed the form using the HTML code generated for Popup, Embed or iFrame.
