User Feedback

When a user experiences an error, Sentry provides the ability to collect additional feedback. You can collect feedback according to the method supported by the SDK.

Embeddable JavaScript Widget

Our embeddable JavaScript widget is useful when you may typically render a plain error page (the classic 500.html) on your website.

To collect feedback, the widget requests and collects the user's name, email address, and a description of what occurred. When feedback is provided, Sentry pairs the feedback with the original event, giving you additional insights into issues.

The screenshot below provides an example of the User Feedback widget, though yours may differ depending on your customization:

Integration

To integrate the widget, you'll need to be running version 2.1 or newer of our JavaScript SDK. The widget authenticates with your public DSN, then passes in the Event ID that was generated on your backend.

Make sure you've got the JavaScript SDK available:

Copied
<script
  src="https://browser.sentry-cdn.com/7.45.0/bundle.min.js"
  integrity="sha384-eB2/mQAt3oY62hGYFXiPg18greyp8WT/GvKHlsvdYbvSxBRGEhBqEX8L7giHxzvp"
  crossorigin="anonymous"
></script>

If you're using a framework like React or Angular, the best place to collect user feedback is in your error-handling component. (Please see platform-specific docs for examples.) If you're not using a framework, you can collect feedback right before the event is sent, using beforeSend:

Copied
<script>
  Sentry.init({
    dsn: "https://examplePublicKey@o0.ingest.sentry.io/0",
    beforeSend(event, hint) {
      // Check if it is an exception, and if so, show the report dialog
      if (event.exception) {
        Sentry.showReportDialog({ eventId: event.event_id });
      }
      return event;
    },
  });
</script>

Customizing the Widget

You can customize the widget to your organization's needs, especially for localization purposes. All options can be passed through the showReportDialog call.
