How to Add User Feedback, Roadmap & Changelog to Your Glide App with UserJot

Want to collect user ideas, share your product plans, or announce updates directly from your Glide application? This guide explains how to connect UserJot to your Glide app by adding simple links, giving your users easy access to feedback boards, roadmaps, and changelogs.

Why Connect UserJot to Your Glide App?

Integrating UserJot with your Glide app offers several advantages. You can centralize user feedback collection, making it simple for users to submit suggestions and vote on ideas. Displaying a public product roadmap keeps users informed about what features are planned or in progress. Announcing product updates through a changelog lets users know about new features and improvements as they happen.

Setting Up Your UserJot Account

Before linking to Glide, you need a UserJot account and project.

1. Sign up for UserJot (a free plan with core features is available).
2. UserJot will create an initial project for you, accessible via a subdomain like https://yourproject.userjot.com.
3. Note your UserJot URLs. The main page is your feedback board. For the roadmap, add /roadmap to the end. For updates, add /updates.
4. (Optional) For a branded look, consider setting up a custom domain (e.g., feedback.yourdomain.com). You can find examples of the full URLs in the footer links guide.

Adding UserJot Links to Your Glide App

The most direct way to integrate UserJot with Glide is by adding links within your app’s interface. You can place these links in navigation menus, buttons, or text elements.

Here’s a general process for adding UserJot links in the Glide editor:

1. Open your Glide App: Log in to Glide and open the app you want to edit.

2. Choose a Location: Decide where you want to add the links. Common places include:

   • Navigation Bar/Tab: Add a new tab or item pointing to your UserJot page.
   • Button Component: Add a button specifically for feedback or roadmap.
   • Text/Rich Text Component: Embed links within descriptive text.

3. Configure the Link Action:

   • Select the component (tab, button, text).
   • Find the ‘Action’ or ‘Link’ setting for that component.
   • Choose an action like ‘Open Link’, ‘Open Web View’, or similar.
   • Paste the full URL for your UserJot Feedback Board (e.g., https://yourproject.userjot.com/ or https://feedback.yourdomain.com/).
   • Repeat this process for separate links to your Roadmap (.../roadmap) and Changelog (.../updates), if desired. Use clear link text like “Share Feedback”, “View Roadmap”, or “Latest Updates”.

4. Publish Changes: Save and publish your Glide app updates.

5. Test: Open your live Glide app and test the links to confirm they open the correct UserJot pages.

• Adjust the project name, logo, favicon, and primary color in UserJot’s branding settings to match your Glide app’s appearance.
