Serves contact pages on GOV.UK
This app collects feedback from users via contact forms rendered on GOV.UK. This data is then sent to support-api app to be dealt with.
Most of the /done/completed-transaction pages render a Service Feedback form. An example is: www.gov.uk/done/vehicle-tax.
There are also three assisted digital feedback forms:
The transaction finished page can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/done/transaction-finished. This doesn’t display a form, just content to inform the user that the transaction is finished.
The Service Feedback form fields also exist within the Assisted Digital Feedback form. They are foundationally the same, but Assisted Digital Feedback has some extra fields.
The Service Feedback form data from both types of form is sent to the Support API. It can be viewed using the Support app within the Feedback Explorer.
In addition to sending some data to the Support API, the data from the other fields (from the Assisted Digital Feedback form) plus some data from hidden fields appended using JS (referrer and javascript_enabled) are written to a Google spreadsheet.
For submitting the Assisted Digital Feedback form, you will need to get the Google API credentials from AWS secrets/integration. To use them locally, create a .dotenv file and write them in:
GOOGLE_PRIVATE_KEY=
GOOGLE_CLIENT_EMAIL=
ASSISTED_DIGITAL_GOOGLE_SPREADSHEET_KEY=
The .env file is listed within the .gitignore file. Do not push the .env file to version control.
Completed transaction feedback forms were previously rendered by the Frontend application. Rendering was moved into this application which enabled the implementation of form validation.
This is a Ruby on Rails app, and should follow our Rails app conventions.
