When collecting feedback from customers or users, there might be a time when you need to collect additional information outside of their name and email address. Specifically, by submitting feedback on your site, you may require the reporter to agree to specific terms, provide consent or even just advise them of your privacy policy in the form of a disclaimer.
A Custom field can be added to your Userback widget by simply enabling it in the widget form.
