Beta SDK

Learn about general User Feedback configuration fields for version 7 of the JavaScript SDK.

The User Feedback Widget offers many customization options, and if the available options are insufficient, you can use your own UI. The following image shows which elements are customizable. The configuration keys on the left of the image correspond to text customization, while the ones on the right side are for theme customizations.

The following options can be configured for the integration in feedbackIntegration({}):

KeyTypeDefaultDescription
autoInjectbooleantrueInjects the Feedback widget into the application when the integration is added. Set autoInject: false if you want to call feedback.attachTo() or feedback.openDialog() directly, or only want to show the widget on certain views.
showBrandingbooleantrueDisplays the Sentry logo inside of the form
colorScheme"system" | "light" | "dark""system"Shows the color theme choices. "system" will use your OS color scheme.

KeyTypeDefaultDescription
showNamebooleantrueDisplays the name field on the feedback form.
showEmailbooleantrueDisplays the email field on the feedback form.
isNameRequiredbooleanfalseRequires the name field on the feedback form to be filled in.
isEmailRequiredbooleanfalseRequires the email field on the feedback form to be filled in.
useSentryUserRecord<string, string>{ email: 'email', name: 'username'}Sets the email and name fields to the corresponding Sentry SDK user fields that were called with Sentry.setUser.

By default, the Feedback integration will attempt to fill in the name and email fields if you've set a user context via Sentry.setUser(). The email and name fields are expected to be email and username. Below is an example configuration with non-default user fields:

Copied
Sentry.setUser({
  email: 'foo@example.com',
  fullName: 'Jane Doe',
});

feedbackIntegration({
  useSentryUser: {
    email: 'email',
    name: 'fullName',
  },
});

Most text that you see in the default Feedback widget can be customized.

KeyDefaultDescription
buttonLabelReport a BugThe label of the injected button.
submitButtonLabelSend Bug ReportThe label of the submit button used in the feedback form.
cancelButtonLabelCancelThe label of the cancel button used in the feedback form.
formTitleReport a BugThe title at the top of the feedback form.
nameLabelNameThe label of the name input field.
namePlaceholderYour NameThe placeholder for the name input field.
emailLabelEmailThe label of the email input field.
emailPlaceholderyour.email@example.orgThe placeholder for the email input field.
messageLabelDescriptionThe label for the feedback description input field.
messagePlaceholderWhat's the bug? What did you expect?The placeholder for the feedback description input field.
successMessageTextThank you for your report!The message to be displayed after a succesful feedback submission.
isRequiredText(required)The text displayed next to a required field.

Example of customization:

Copied
feedbackIntegration({
  buttonLabel: 'Feedback',
  submitButtonLabel: 'Send Feedback',
  formTitle: 'Send Feedback',
});

Colors can be customized via the Feedback class constructor or by defining CSS variables on the injected button. If you use the default button it will have a property id="sentry-feedback, meaning you can use the #sentry-feedback selector to define CSS variables to override.

Here is an example of customizing only the background color for the light theme using the Feedback constructor configuration:

Copied
feedbackIntegration({
  themeLight: {
    background: '#cccccc',
  },
});

Or the same example as above, but using the CSS variables method instead:

Copied
#sentry-feedback {
  --background: #cccccc;
}

These are additional CSS variables that can be overridden, similar to the theme customization above. They're not supported in the constructor.

VariableDefaultDescription
--bottom1remBy default, the widget has a position of fixed, and is in the bottom right corner.
--right1remBy default, the widget has a position of fixed, and is in the bottom right corner.
--topautoBy default, the widget has a position of fixed, and is in the bottom right corner.
--leftautoBy default, the widget has a position of fixed, and is in the bottom right corner.
--z-index100000The z-index of the widget.
--font-family"'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif"Default font-family to use.
--font-size14pxFont size.

Because it’s sometimes useful to know when a user started interacting with the feedback form, we've made it possible for you to add custom logging, or start and stop background timers on the page that tell you when the user is done.

Pass these callbacks when you initialize the Feedback integration:

Copied
feedbackIntegration({
  onFormOpen: () => {},
  onFormClose: () => {},
  onSubmitSuccess: () => {},
  onSubmitError: () => {},
});

You can use your own button instead of the default injected button to trigger the form being displayed, by calling feedback.attachTo() to have the SDK attach a click listener to your button. You can also supply the same customization options that the constructor accepts (for example, for text labels and colors).

Copied
const feedback = feedbackIntegration({
  // Disable injecting the default widget
  autoInject: false,
});

feedback.attachTo(document.querySelector('#your-button'), {
  formTitle: 'Report a Bug!',
});

Alternatively, you can call feedback.openDialog():

Copied
import {BrowserClient, Feedback, getClient} from '@sentry/react';

function MyFeedbackButton() {
  const client = getClient<BrowserClient>();
  const feedback = client?.getIntegration(Feedback);

  // Don't render custom feedback button if Feedback integration isn't installed
  if (!feedback) {
    return null;
  }

  return (
    <button type="button" onClick={() => feedback.openDialog()}>
      Give me feedback
    </button>
  );
}

You can also use your own UI components to gather feedback and pass the feedback data object to the sendFeedback() function. The sendFeedback function accepts two parameters:

  • A JavaScript object with a required message property and also optional name and email properties, or a FormData instance with the same properties.
  • An optional "options" object.
Copied
Sentry.sendFeedback(
  {
    name: 'Jane Doe', // optional
    email: 'email@example.org', // optional
    message: 'This is an example feedback', // required
  },
  {
    includeReplay: true, // optional
  }
);

Here's a simple example:

Copied
<form id="my-feedback-form">
  <input name="name" />
  <input name="email" />
  <textarea name="message" placeholder="What's the issue?" />
</form>

You can customize the Crash-Report modal to your organization's needs, for example, for localization purposes. All options can be passed through the Sentry.showReportDialog call.

ParamDefault
eventIdManually set the id of the event.
dsnManually set dsn to report to.

successMessageYour feedback has been sent. Thank you!
onLoadn/a - (An optional callback that will be invoked when the widget opens.)
onClosen/a - (An optional callback that will be invoked when the widget closes.)

The optional callback onLoad will be called when users see the widget. You can use this to run custom logic, for example to log an analytics event:

Copied
Sentry.showReportDialog({
  // ...
  onLoad() {
    // Log an event to amplitude when the report dialog opens
    amplitude.logEvent('report_dialog_seen');
  },
});

The optional callback onClose will be called when users close the widget. You can use this to run custom logic, for example to reload the page:

Requires JS SDK version v7.82.0 or higher.

Copied
Sentry.showReportDialog({
  // ...
  onClose() {
    // Refresh the window after the user closes the report dialog
    win.reload();
  },
});
