Is there a way to include an identifier for each recommendation in the feedback form data on Webflow CMS? Can the feedback form data also include the identity of the logged-in user?

Yes, it is possible to include an identifier for each recommendation in the feedback form data on Webflow CMS. One way to achieve this is by adding a new field to your feedback form specifically for the identifier. You can create a "Text" field in your form that will allow users to enter the identifier for their recommendation.

To include the identity of the logged-in user in the feedback form data, you would need to have a user authentication system in place. Once you have implemented user authentication, you can dynamically populate the feedback form with the user's identity.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how you can go about achieving this:

1. Add a new field to your feedback form in Webflow CMS. Go to the CMS Collection that contains your feedback form and select the "Fields" tab. Click on the "+" button to add a new field, and choose the "Text" field type. Give it a name like "User Identifier" or something similar.

2. On the page where you have your feedback form, you'll need to create a way for the user to enter their identifier. You can do this by adding an input field to the form using Webflow's form builder. Make sure to link it to the "User Identifier" field that you created in the CMS.

3. Next, you'll need to implement user authentication on your website. There are several ways to do this depending on your requirements. For example, you can use a third-party service like Auth0 or implement a custom solution using Webflow's API and a backend system.

4. Once you have user authentication set up, you can retrieve the logged-in user's identity using the authentication system's API or built-in functions. This will typically provide you with a unique identifier for the user, such as their user ID or username.

5. After retrieving the user's identity, you can dynamically populate the feedback form's "User Identifier" field with the user's information. You can do this using JavaScript by targeting the input field and setting its value to the user's identifier. You can place this script in a custom code embed on your Webflow page.

With these steps in place, each recommendation submitted through the feedback form will include the identifier provided by the user, and if they are logged in, their identity as well. This will enable you to associate the recommendations with specific users and further analyze the feedback data.
