Feature Request Form Template

Most feature requests arrive without the context that makes them actionable. This form fixes that — it asks users what problem they're solving, how they're working around it today, and how important the change is. Embed it in your product or share it with your customer base.

About this template

Feature requests are the heartbeat of product development, but most teams collect them in a way that makes them impossible to act on. "Add dark mode" is a request. "I work in a dim office and the bright UI gives me headaches by 4pm" is the same request with the context a product team actually needs. This template is structured to surface that context every time.

The form leads with the problem — not the proposed solution — because the best features rarely look exactly like what users initially ask for. By asking what problem the request solves, how the user works around it today, and how widely the issue affects them, you collect requests that engineers and product managers can actually triage. The importance rating gives you a quick lens for prioritization, and the optional reporter info makes it easy to follow up when you want to dig deeper.

formformform turns feature collection into a one-step process. The form is free, supports unlimited submissions, embeds anywhere in your product or marketing site, and sends every request directly to your inbox. There's no need to pay for a dedicated feedback platform when you're just getting started — drop this form in a help menu or footer link and you'll have a structured backlog of customer-driven ideas in days.

Best practices for your feature request form

Ask about the problem, not the solution

users describe what they want, but you need to know what's driving it. Lead with the problem field every time.

Capture the workaround

knowing how users solve the problem today is the most underrated piece of context. Sometimes the workaround is the real feature request.

Always ask how important

without prioritization, requests pile up and nothing gets shipped. A simple critical/important/nice-to-have scale is enough.

Don't promise anything

let users know you read every request without committing to building any. Set expectations early.

Close the loop

when you ship a requested feature, email the people who asked for it. It builds trust faster than any roadmap page.

Look for patterns

a single request is a signal, but ten requests for the same thing is a roadmap. Tag and group submissions so trends show up.

Frequently asked questions

Is this feature request form free? +

Yes. You can collect unlimited feature requests for free, with no trial period and no credit card required.

Can I let users vote on each other's requests? +

Voting isn't built in, but you can periodically share top requests with your customers in a newsletter or community channel and let them respond. Many teams pipe formformform submissions into a tool like Canny or Fider for public voting.

Can I send requests directly to Linear, Jira, or Notion? +

Yes. Use the webhook feature to push each submission into your tool of choice, where your product team already triages.

Should I make every field required? +

We suggest requiring the problem and feature description, but keeping importance and audience optional. The more friction you add, the fewer ideas you'll collect.

Can I embed this in my SaaS app? +

Yes. Use the iframe or embed code to drop the form into a settings page, help menu, or feedback widget inside your product.

How do I prevent duplicate requests? +

Tag and group submissions in your dashboard, or use a webhook to deduplicate as they arrive. Most teams treat duplicates as a positive signal — it means several users want the same thing.
