Collect website feedback as new issues directly in your Shortcut projects. With our 2-way synchronization, your issue status, fields, and comments are always in sync.
Set up a Shortcut Integration
Add a project
To get started, go to the Marker.io dashboard and Create a project.
Complete the project form by entering a :
Project name
The website where you wish to collect feedback
Select your integration
Select the space within your integration where you wish to receive your feedback
If this is your first time connecting, you must authorize marker.io to use your Shortcut account by grabbing an API key.
Configure forms
We fetch your native Shortcut fields into your widget form. You can show/hide any fields and preset fields. For example, set the default Type as "Bug" and allow your reporters to change that as they see fit.
Note: Marker.io members report through the Member form, while Guests and Public Reporters report via the Guest form. More on that in our User Roles Guide.
Install widget
The last step is to install the website widget. We have many options for installing our widget and recommend our manual JavaScript install in most cases.
Alternatively, install the widget via WordPress plugin, NPM package, or send a request to your developer in one click.
Visit your website, refresh and check that the widget appears.
How it works
Collect feedback
Reporters can submit their feedback directly to your Shortcut project without leaving their website. Their feedback will automatically include detail-rich technical data.
Let’s say the Contact Us button is broken on the About Us page. The reporter clicks on the widget and is presented with a screenshot and a feedback form to complete.
The screenshot can be annotated, and the feedback form can be as simple or as complex as you wish. We recommend keeping the feedback form as simple as possible for your non-technical reporters.
Review issues
In your Shortcut project, you see the feedback arrive with the screenshot and automatically captured technical data, including:
Page URL
Browser
Screen size
Operating system
Communicate with reporters
The "Contact via Marker.io" link opens the Feedback Page, where you can communicate with your reporters. All conversations will be synced with Shortcut.
Synchronize Status
Once you update an issue status to “done” within Shortcut, this will update the Marker.io status to resolved and notify the reporter via email that the issue is complete.
