Freshservice lets you collect feedback and requests directly from your website, portal or any third party web page. This will allow users to submit a ticket to your service desk without having to look around for your self-service portal or remembering your support email.
In order to set it up, you can configure a feedback widget and put up the code snippet on your website.
If you want it to be available across several pages, you can setup a pop-up widget that will be displayed on the side of your screen and will open up a form when clicked.
You could also setup an embed the widget which will directly show a form on the page of your choice. (for e.g. the Contact Us page).
The widget will display the ticket form with all the ticket fields you have configured inside Freshservice. You can also allow users to add screenshots or search through your knowledge base through the feedback widget.
Quick guide to customizing and adding a feedback widget:
Log into your Freshservice account as an administrator
Go to Admin > Channels > Other Channels > Feedback widget
