How to Add User Feedback, Roadmap & Changelog to Your Bildr Site with UserJot

Adding user feedback collection, a public product roadmap, and a changelog to your Bildr website is straightforward using UserJot. This guide shows you how to connect these features by adding direct links from your Bildr site to your UserJot pages.

Why Connect UserJot to Your Bildr Site?

Linking UserJot to your Bildr project lets you centralize user engagement. You can:

  • Gather user suggestions: Create a dedicated space for users to submit ideas and feedback directly through a UserJot feedback board.
  • Display your product roadmap: Share your development plans transparently by linking to your UserJot roadmap page.
  • Publish product updates: Announce new features and improvements using a UserJot changelog.

Setting Up Your UserJot Account

Before linking, you need a UserJot project set up.

  1. Create an account: Sign up at the UserJot Dashboard. Basic boards are created automatically to help you get started.
  2. Get your links: UserJot provides unique URLs for your feedback board, roadmap, and updates page. These will look like https://yourproject.userjot.com/ or https://feedback.yourdomain.com/ if you use a custom domain. Specific pages are found at /roadmap and /updates. Find guidance on constructing these links here.

The most common way to integrate UserJot with Bildr is by adding text links to your site’s navigation bar or footer.

  1. Open your Bildr project: Log in to Bildr and open the project you want to edit.
  2. Navigate to the page: Go to the page where you want to add the links (e.g., your main layout containing the header or footer).
  3. Add a Link Element:
    • From the Bildr element panel, drag a ‘Link’ element (or a similar text/button element you intend to use as a link) onto your page canvas. Place it in your desired location (e.g., within your site footer section).
    • Alternatively, select an existing text element.
  4. Configure the Link:
    • Select the newly added element or the text you want to make into a link.
    • In the Bildr properties panel (usually on the right), find the ‘Link’ or ‘URL’ setting (this might be under ‘Events’ or ‘Attributes’ depending on the element type).
    • Paste the URL for your UserJot feedback board (e.g., https://yourproject.userjot.com/ or https://feedback.yourdomain.com/) into the appropriate field.
    • Set the display text for the link (e.g., “Share Feedback”, “Suggest a Feature”).
  5. Repeat for Roadmap and Updates: Add separate links for your UserJot roadmap (/roadmap path) and changelog (/updates path), using clear text like “Product Roadmap” or “Latest Updates”.
  6. Style the Links: Use Bildr’s styling options to make the links match your site’s design.
  7. Save and Publish: Save your changes in Bildr and publish your site.

Matching UserJot to Your Site Design

For a cohesive experience, customize UserJot’s appearance:

  • Use UserJot’s branding options to change the logo, project name, and primary color to match your Bildr site.
  • Consider setting up a custom domain (like feedback.yourdomain.com) for a fully branded look.

Adding these UserJot links gives your Bildr site users a direct way to share ideas and follow your product’s progress. Start collecting feedback on your Bildr site today.
