Userback Surveys and feedback widgets can record your users' console logs and click events adding valuable content for your team and developers. Console log recording will add full logs and JavaScript errors to every feedback item submitted.
There are two places console logs are recorded, specifically with feedback submitted, and all session replays recorded from your users.
Console Logs: Once activated, they capture crucial client-side JavaScript errors and logs, giving you a detailed record of any issues that occurred during a user's session.
Event Tracking: Event Tracking provides a clear picture of user interactions up to the moment they submit feedback or report a bug. Event Tracking eliminates guesswork, offering a readable history of the user's journey and interactions.
