Manual Trigger

Show your feedback form on demand via code

Manual Trigger - Configuration and usage example

Features and explanations

FeatureExplanation
Enable/Disable toggleManual Trigger is enabled by default. Toggle to Disabled if you don't want to use it.
Override In-App Targeting RulesWhen enabled, manually triggered forms ignore the targeting rules configured in In-App behaviours. Use this when you want to show the form to anyone, regardless of segments or conditions.
Feedback Configuration UUIDA unique ID (e.g. bf90fbce-9826-49b9-bf2c-2ec107a5bfd2) that identifies your form. Use this with _encatch.showForm() to display the form programmatically.
Form SlugA human-readable name (e.g. customer-satisfaction-survey-2024) that must be unique, alphanumeric lowercase with hyphens/underscores, 15–100 characters, and must start with a letter. Can be used instead of the UUID when calling _encatch.showForm().
showForm() methodCall _encatch.showForm('your-uuid-or-slug') in your application to programmatically display the form. You can use either the Form Slug or the UUID.

How to use the Manual Trigger

  1. Manual Trigger is enabled by default — Toggle to Disabled if you don't want to use it.
  2. Override In-App Targeting Rules (optional) — When enabled, manually triggered forms ignore the targeting rules configured in In-App behaviours. Use this when you want to show the form to anyone, regardless of segments or conditions.
  3. Get your identifiers — You'll see a Feedback Configuration UUID and a Form Slug field. The slug is a human-readable name that must be unique, alphanumeric lowercase with hyphens/underscores, 15–100 characters, and must start with a letter.
  4. Call the method in your app — Use _encatch.showForm('your-uuid-or-slug') in your application to programmatically display the form. You can use either the Form Slug or the UUID.
