UserJot
Get started

Overview

The UserJot widget adds a feedback entry point directly inside your product. It gives users one place to send feedback, check your roadmap, and read product updates without leaving the page they are already on.

For most teams, the widget is the fastest way to bring UserJot into the product experience. You install one script, initialize it with your project ID, and the default launcher appears on the page.

What the widget includes

Once installed, the widget can give users access to:

  • Feedback submission
  • Public roadmap
  • Changelog updates
  • Request voting and discussion

The exact experience depends on how your workspace is configured. For example, if you identify users, the widget can personalize the experience. If you use automatic login, signed-in users can move into UserJot more seamlessly across public surfaces.

When to use the widget

The widget is a good fit when you want feedback to stay close to the product experience instead of sending users to a separate page first.

Common use cases:

  • Add a persistent feedback entry point inside your app
  • Let users check the roadmap without leaving the current page
  • Make updates easier to discover from inside the product
  • Replace scattered feedback channels with one consistent surface

When to use something else

The widget is not the only way to use UserJot.

  • If you want a full-page embedded experience, use an embed instead of the floating widget.
  • If you only need to share your public board, roadmap, or changelog, a direct link to your UserJot site may be enough.
  • If you need authentication behavior across public UserJot surfaces, that belongs in the authentication docs, not in the widget setup itself.

Before you install it

You only need a few things to get started:

  • A UserJot workspace
  • Your project ID, which you can copy from Settings → Login in the Secrets section
  • A place to add a script tag to your app or website

The Share page in the dashboard also has a ready-made install snippet under Widget embed with your project ID already filled in.

If you just want the default launcher, the initial setup is small. You can add configuration, user identification, and custom triggers later.

Recommended path

  1. Install the widget and confirm it loads.
  2. Configure the position, theme, and trigger behavior.
  3. Identify signed-in users if your product has authentication.
  4. Add automatic login later if you want a smoother cross-surface experience.
