Ask about the attempt, not the feature
"What were you trying to do?" surfaces the underlying job. "What feature do you want?" surfaces someone else's solution to it.

Product Feedback Form
A product feedback form has one failure mode: it turns into a wishlist. Ask people what they want and you get a list where everything is important, which tells you nothing about what to build.
Not a stock template. Build it in a few minutes from a blank form, or describe it and let AI draft the questions on a paid plan.
The fix is to ask about behaviour and force a trade-off. What did you try to do? What got in the way? And, given a fixed number of points, how would you split them across these? A budget allocator answers in one question what a hundred feature requests cannot.
When to use a product feedback form
- Continuous in-product feedback, linked from a help menu
- After a release, to see whether it landed
- Beta and early-access programmes
- Roadmap input from customers before a planning cycle
- Churn interviews, where the answer matters most
Example questions
What to put on the form.
A starting point, not a rulebook: every question below is a real Questionful question type, and all of them are editable once the form is in your account.
| Question | Question type |
|---|---|
| Which part of the product is this about? The branching question | Dropdown |
| What were you trying to do? | Paragraph |
| What got in the way? | Paragraph |
| How often do you hit this? | Multiple choice |
| Split 100 points across these priorities The question that produces a ranking you can trust | Budget allocator |
| Which features do you use weekly? | Checkboxes |
| How would you feel if this product went away? | Multiple choice |
| Can we contact you about this? Routes to a contact section on yes | Multiple choice |
How Questionful helps
Building it, step by step.
02
Force the trade-off
A budget allocator gives a fixed total to divide, so people cannot mark everything critical. A priority matrix does the same job as a ranking.
03
Route by area
A dropdown for the product area sends each response into its own section and, via the webhook, to the team that owns it.
04
Close the loop
Ask permission to follow up and route the yes to a contact section. The people who explain a problem twice are the ones worth talking to.
Tips
What makes the difference.
- Never publish a public wishlist you do not intend to act on.
- Keep the form linked from inside the product, where the frustration is fresh.
- Use the same budget allocator options across cycles so the shift is visible.
- Read the "what got in the way" answers verbatim, in batches. Summaries lose the useful detail.
- Tell people what you shipped because of this form; it is why they fill in the next one.
FAQ
Product Feedback Form questions.
What should a product feedback form ask?
What the person was trying to do, what stopped them, how often it happens, and a forced trade-off across your candidate priorities. Feature requests are a symptom; the attempt is the data.
How do I stop it becoming a wishlist?
Use a budget allocator or priority matrix. When the total is capped, respondents have to choose, and the aggregate is a ranking rather than a list of everything.
Can feedback be routed to the right team?
Yes, via the webhook: the payload carries every answer including the product-area question, so Zapier, Make, or your own service can route or tag it.
Can I publish the results?
Yes for closed-set questions, using the opt-in public response summary. Open text is never published, so nobody is quoted by accident.
