This is the recommended method if you're working with non-technical users. Simply embed the provided JavaScript snippet into your website’s <head> section. This ensures BugHerd is always available, browser extensions are no longer required. Anyone you invite (members or clients) can start leaving feedback right away, as long as they’re logged in to BugHerd.

Embedding the script is also required if you plan to use BugHerd on mobile devices.

Step 1: Copy your Project's embed code

Click on "⚙️ Settings" then "Install BugHerd":

Copy the JavaScript code from the "Install Javascript code" dialogue box:

Step 2: Paste the code into "head" of your website

Next, paste the code into the "head" tag of your website and that's it! Simple. 😀

If you don't have access to the code, you can click the "Send instructions" tab and request help from a developer.

A few other things to keep in mind

The BugHerd widget can pretty much be placed anywhere within your HTML. There are few simple things to keep in mind, however.

  1. To get the best performance out of BugHerd, we recommend placing the embed script in your HEAD tags.

  2. Make sure you put the script in a Master page or your application-wide layout to ensure the widget is available on all your pages.

  3. You need to be logged into BugHerd (the website) in the same browser you use BugHerd (the widget).
