Install Featurevote

Add the launcher widget, embed the board, or share a link

This guide walks through the three ways to put Featurevote in front of your users:

  1. Launcher widget (recommended)
  2. Embedded board
  3. Shareable link

The launcher is the best default because it is lightweight, customizable, and can highlight new changelog updates with the red dot.

Option 1: Launcher widget (recommended)

The launcher is a small button or inline link you can place in your app, docs, or marketing site. It can open your board or changelog and optionally show a red dot when new updates are available.

Install steps

  1. Go to FeatureVote -> Install -> Launcher Widget
  2. Choose the behavior (Board or Changelogs)
  3. Copy the embed snippet
  4. Paste it where you want the launcher to appear

Basic snippet

<div data-account="your-account"></div>
<script src="https://featurevote.app/embed.js" async></script>

Launcher settings (optional)

Add these data attributes to customize behavior and appearance:

  • data-embed="launcher" for launcher mode
  • data-open="board" | "changelogs"
  • data-label="Request feature"
  • data-target="_self" | "_blank"
  • data-style="sidebar" | "button" | "link"
  • data-size="sm" | "md" | "lg"
  • data-radius="sm" | "md" | "lg" | "full"
  • data-icon="message" | "board" | "changelog" | "bulb" | "none"
  • data-dot-visible="true" | "false"

Example:

<div
  data-account="your-account"
  data-embed="launcher"
  data-open="changelogs"
  data-label="View updates"
  data-style="button"
  data-target="_blank"
  data-dot-visible="true"
></div>
<script src="https://featurevote.app/embed.js" async></script>

When to use the launcher

  • You want a subtle entry point inside your product UI
  • You want to highlight new updates with a red dot
  • You want users to open the board or changelog without leaving your site

Option 2: Embed the board

Embedding the full board works well in help centers, product portals, or internal dashboards.

Basic board embed

<div data-account="your-account"></div>
<script src="https://featurevote.app/embed.js" async></script>

Optional sizing

<div
  data-account="your-account"
  data-width="100%"
  data-height="600px"
  data-border="1px solid #e5e7eb"
></div>
<script src="https://featurevote.app/embed.js" async></script>

If you just want to share the board without embedding it, copy your public board link from the Install -> Links tab.

Common uses:

  • Add it to your navigation
  • Link from product emails
  • Share in customer support replies

If you are unsure which option to use, start with the launcher widget. It is the most flexible and easiest to drop into existing pages.
