Our SDK allows you to add the feedback solution www.stomt.com to your websites or any other HTML/JavaScript based applications. The SDK currently allows you to add a button to your website, which when used open a STOMT creation form. In the form customers can choose if they want to speak a wish or praise your site and then enter their thoughts. All submitted ideas can then be manages on the STOMT website, where they can be discussed, voted and finally come true.
To connect your site to STOMT, create a project page on stomt first.
View the live demo here. The projects source can be found on GitHub, it itegrates the sdk dynamically in the index.html file.
To install the STOMT JavaScript-SDK you only have to add the following lines to the bottom of you html file and adjust the "appId" at the bottom of the script to your business profiles username.
<div id="stomt_feed"></div> <!-- if you want to include a feed -->
<div id="stomt_create"></div> <!-- if you want to include a feed -->
<script>
// Include the STOMT JavaScript SDK
(function(w, d, n, r, t, s){
w.Stomt = w.Stomt||[];
t = d.createElement(n);
s = d.getElementsByTagName(n)[0];
t.async=1;
t.src=r;
s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s);
})(window, document, 'script', 'https://www.stomt.com/widget.js');
// Adjust the 'APP_ID' to your application id
// you can find it here: https://www.stomt.com/YOUR_PAGE/apps
Stomt.push(['addTab', {appId: 'APP_ID'}]);
Stomt.push(['addFeed', {appId: 'APP_ID'}]);
Stomt.push(['addCreate', {appId: 'APP_ID'}]);
</script>Copy & paste, done! You have further options to customize the widget. See the documentation part below.
The current version allows you to add a Feedback button to your page:
Stomt.push(['addTab', options]);You can use the showTab(options) method to show the widget if it is hidden.
Stomt.push(['showTab', options]);You can use the hideTab() method to hide the widget.
Stomt.push(['hideTag']);You can use the toggleTab(options) method to toggle the widget.
Stomt.push(['toggleTab', options]);You can use the updateTabJSON() method to set a new JSON object for the Tab Widget. The next times a STOMT is created this JSON is attached. See options below for more information about JSON data.
Stomt.push(['updateTabJSON', json]);You can use the updateTabFile() method to set a new file for the Tab Widget. The next times a STOMT is created this file is attached. See options below for more information about data.
Stomt.push(['updateTabFile', file]);The options param has to be handed into the addTab function to initialize the widget and can be handed into the showTab function to update the widget state.
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
appId (required) |
String | The appId is your pages application id. You can find it in your application overview in STOMT (https://www.stomt.com/YOUR_PAGE/apps). The target connected to this application id will be used as target. |
position |
String | You can set the position of the button, the default position is right. If required you can align the button to the left side by passing position: 'left'. |
label |
String | The default label of the button is Feedback, you can change that by passing another label. |

String | The colorBackground option allows you to change the background color of the button (default: #0091C9). |
colorHover |
String | The colorHover option allows you to change the background color of the button when the user hovers it (default: #04729E). |
json |
Object | By attaching a JSON object, data can be attached to STOMTs that are submitted from the Tab Widget. You can filter STOMTS with attached JSON in stomt.com/YOUR_TARGET/search by using the has:data filter or filtering for specific keys or key value pairs (e.g. data:myKey or data:myKey:myValue). You can also attach labels to STOMTS by adding the property labels, which contains an array of label names. |
file |
Object | By attaching a JSON object with the properties name (String) and data (Object) to the property file, data can be attached to STOMTs that are submitted from the Tab Widget. data can be any serialized data format or JSON. If your data is only valid JSON, you can also use the json option. |
showClose |
Boolean | Via the showClose property, you can specify whether the Close Icon in the Tab Widget should be shown or not (default: true). |
preload |
Boolean | By setting the property preload to true, you can tell the Widget to preload the Tab iframe in the background (default: false). This reduces the loading delay when showing the Tab for the first time. |
targetId (deprecated) |
String | The targetId is the page identifier for the page you want to address the wishes to. You can copy it from the pages url (https://www.stomt.com/stomt-javascript-sdk -> stomt-javascript-sdk). All stomts created using the JavaScript-SDK will be addressed to this page. |
Example:
// setting the target to the same target your appId is linked to makes sense,
// as it disables the possibility to change the target in the STOMT form.
var options = {
appId: 'YOUR_APP_ID',
position: 'left',
label: 'Speak your wish!',
colorText: '#FFFFFF',
file: {name: 'fileName.file', data: Object},
json: {myKey: 'myValue', labels: ['goodLabel', 'testLabel']},
showClose: false
};
Stomt.push(['addTab', options]);The feedback button can be styled and positioned using the css class .stomt-button.
For example:
/* round button in the bottom right corner */
.stomt-button {
height: auto;
border-radius: 50%;
right: 50px;
bottom: 50px;
color: transparent;
transform: none;
float: none;
padding: 0;
}
/* overwrite the content with a custom icon */
.stomt-button:before {
font-family: "my-icon-font";
line-height: 1;
display: inline-block;
content: "my-custom-icon";
color: #ffffff;
font-size: 40px;
padding: 5px;
}To add custom styling to the widget itself please add a <style> tag to the page containing the STOMT widget. This tag will be put inside the iframe to overwrite the default styling.
To allow us to read the tag please add the attribute stomt-widget to the <style> tag: <style stomt-widget>. To be sure that your styles overwrite the default styling please use !important.
An example for custom styles can be found below:
<style stomt-widget>
/* customize wish/like bubble color */

.stomt-create-bubble--wish {
background-color: blue !important;
border-color: blue !important;

background-color: green !important;

Stomt.push(['removeWidgetListener', 'eventType', callback]);Available events are:
| eventType | Description |
|---|---|
stomtFeed-resize |
listen to resize events of the Feed Widget iframe. Only works when the resize flag is set to true. |
stomtTab-hide / stomtTab-show |
is fired when the visibility of the Tab Widget changes. |
stomtCreate-hide / stomtCreate-show |
is fired when the visibility of the Create Widget changes. |
[WIDGET-TYPE]-stomtCreated |
is fired when a user submitted a stomt. The event data handed to the callback contains the created stomt and the SDK the event originated from. |
[WIDGET-TYPE]-subscribed |
is fired when a user subscribed your target via the Widget. The event data handed to the callback contains the email or phone number used to subscribe and the SDK the event originated from. |
(replace [WIDGET-TYPE] with stomtFeed, stomtTab or stomtCreate)
Instead of using the Javascript snippet you can access the feed page directly in a WebView or Iframe. (For many platforms we did this step for you already and you can grab one of our SDKs.
To embed the form use this url: https://www.stomt.com/widget
To embed the feed use this url: https://www.stomt.com/feedwidget
You can attach all the parameters introduced before (options.appId, ...) to customize the feed for your project:
e.g. https://www.stomt.com/widget?appId=AfRaltKwqi39T8nSXdzPsmCtx&callEN=Tell+us+what+you+miss
