How to Add User Feedback, Roadmap & Changelog to Your Wix Site

This guide explains how to connect UserJot features like feedback boards, public roadmaps, and product changelogs to your website built with Wix. Using UserJot, you can easily add these tools by linking directly from your Wix site’s navigation or footer.

Why Connect UserJot to Your Wix Website?

Integrating UserJot with your Wix site offers several advantages for engaging your audience. You can:

  • Gather user suggestions: Create a dedicated space for visitors to submit ideas and feedback directly through a UserJot Feedback Board.
  • Display your product roadmap: Share your development plans transparently using a UserJot Roadmap, showing users what features are planned or in progress.
  • Publish updates: Announce new features, improvements, or fixes using a UserJot Changelog, keeping your audience informed.

Setting Up Your UserJot Project

Before adding links to Wix, you need a UserJot project.

  1. Create a UserJot Account: Sign up at UserJot and set up your first project. Follow the getting started guide for initial setup.
  2. Get Your UserJot Links: Once your project is ready, UserJot provides a unique URL (like https://yourproject.userjot.com/). You can also set up a custom domain (like https://feedback.yourdomain.com/).
  3. Identify Specific Page Links:
    • Feedback Board: https://yourproject.userjot.com/ (or your custom domain)
    • Roadmap: https://yourproject.userjot.com/roadmap (or /roadmap on your custom domain)
    • Changelog/Updates: https://yourproject.userjot.com/updates (or /updates on your custom domain)
    • Refer to the guide on adding links for examples.

The most direct way to integrate UserJot with Wix is by adding text links to your site’s navigation menu (header) or footer.

  1. Log in to Wix: Access your Wix account and open the Wix Editor for the site you want to modify.
  2. Edit Header or Footer:
    • For Header Navigation: Double-click the header section to open the header editor. Select the site menu element.
    • For Footer: Scroll down and double-click the footer section to edit it.
  3. Add a Link:
    • Header Menu: Click “Manage Menu” or similar option. Select “Add Menu Item” > “Link”. Choose “Web Address”.
    • Footer: Select an existing text element or add a new one (“Add” > “Text”). Highlight the text you want to link (e.g., “Feedback”, “Roadmap”, “Updates”). Click the link icon in the text editor toolbar. Choose “Web Address”.
  4. Enter UserJot URL: Paste the appropriate UserJot URL (for your feedback board, roadmap, or changelog) into the “Web Address” or URL field.
  5. Configure Link Settings: Choose whether the link should open in a new window or the current window. For external links like UserJot, opening in a new window is often preferred.
  6. Set Link Text (if needed): If adding a new menu item or text element, type clear link text like “Share Feedback”, “View Roadmap”, or “See Updates”.
  7. Save and Publish: Save your changes in the Wix Editor and publish your site to make the links live.

Repeat these steps to add links for each UserJot feature (Feedback, Roadmap, Updates) you want to include on your Wix site.

Matching UserJot to Your Site Design

For a consistent look between your Wix site and UserJot pages, customize UserJot’s appearance:

  • Branding: Adjust the project name, logo, favicon, and primary color in UserJot’s settings to match your Wix site’s branding. See the custom branding guide.
  • Custom Domain: Using a custom domain (e.g., feedback.yourdomain.com) makes the integration appear more native to your Wix site.

Conclusion

Adding UserJot links to your Wix website is a straightforward way to collect feedback, share your roadmap, and announce updates. Start collecting valuable user input on your Wix site today.
