There’s never a good time for errors or performance degradations to show up, but during periods of peak traffic like the holidays, it’s especially critical to get immediate answers about what's failing and how to fix it.
Sentry automatically detects errors thrown by your application, such as performance issues and user experience problems like rage clicks. However, there are a class of problems that only your users can detect - maybe a broken link, problem with their permissions, or even something as simple as a grammatical error in copy. This is where Sentry's new and improved User Feedback widget comes in, now generally available. End-users can submit bug reports anytime with the new widget, and Sentry will then link that to available rich debugging context, including replays, errors, and tags such as URL. So now you don’t need to manually reproduce the error yourself, get on a call with a customer, or decode a support ticket.
To set up the new User Feedback widget, add the Feedback integration to your Sentry.init call:
Github
Slack
Javascript
Python
React
Laravel
Next.js
Sentry.init({
dsn: "__DSN__",
integrations: [
Sentry.feedbackIntegration({
// Additional SDK configuration goes in here
colorScheme: 'system',
}),
],
});
For further customization of the widget, please see our documentation. A prerequisite to installing the widget is a browser JavaScript SDK (or related framework) version of 7.85.0 or higher.
Once you have enabled the User Feedback widget, make sure you set up alerts so you don't miss any submissions from your users.
