React Feedback Widget - Quick Setup Guide 2025

If you're building a React app, you know how important user feedback is. But setting up a feedback system usually means:

✓Building a backend to store submissions
✓Creating forms and validation logic
✓Setting up email notifications
✓Building a dashboard to view feedback

That's a lot of work for something that should be simple.

There's a better way. Boost Toad is a drop-in feedback widget that handles everything for you. No backend required, no complex setup. Just add a script tag and you're done.

Why React Developers Choose Boost Toad

Here's what makes Boost Toad perfect for React apps:

🚀 5-Minute Setup Add one script tag to your React app. That's it. No npm packages, no build configuration, no backend setup.

💪 Zero Dependencies Boost Toad works with any React setup - Create React App, Vite, Next.js, or even a CDN build. It doesn't conflict with your existing code.

📦 Everything Included Bug reports with screenshots, feature request voting, NPS surveys, and general feedback. All in one widget.

🎨 Matches Your Design The widget automatically adapts to your site's theme. Or customize colors and positioning to match your brand exactly.

Quick Setup for React

▸Step 1: Get Your Project ID

✓Sign up at boosttoad.com (free tier available)
✓Create a new project
✓Copy your project ID from the dashboard

For React apps, add the script to your public/index.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <!-- your existing head content -->
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="root"></div>
    <script src="https://boosttoad.com/api/widget/bundle?projectId=YOUR_PROJECT_ID" async></script>
  </body>
</html>

html

Or add it dynamically in your main component:

import { useEffect } from 'react'

function App() {
  useEffect(() => {
    const script = document.createElement('script')
    script.src = 'https://boosttoad.com/api/widget/bundle?projectId=YOUR_PROJECT_ID'
    script.async = true
    document.body.appendChild(script)
  }, [])

  return <div>{/* your app */}</div>
}

tsx

▸Step 3: Customize (Optional)

The widget works great out of the box, but you can customize it from your Boost Toad dashboard:

✓Position: Bottom-right, bottom-left, center, etc.
✓Colors: Match your brand palette
✓Feedback Types: Enable/disable bug reports, features, NPS
✓Email Notifications: Get notified when users submit feedback
