Why add feedback to Flutter apps?
The whole integration is one HTTP call; everything else is a widget (the Flutter kind) you already know how to build.
Step 1: Create a TellTide app and copy its publishable key
Sign in to TellTide, open Apps, and create an app with the Mobile App or Desktop App platform label. Open API credentials and copy the tt_pub_ publishable key. It is intentionally visible and can only submit feedback. Never put a tt_live_ or tt_test_ private key in a client application.
Step 2: Post feedback with the http package
Send the submission as JSON with the submission-only publishable key:
import 'dart:convert';
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;
Future<void> sendFeedback(String type, String comment) async {
await http.post(
Uri.parse('https://telltide.com/api/v1/public/feedback'),
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'X-TellTide-Key': telltidePublishableKey,
'Idempotency-Key': createSubmissionId(),
},
body: jsonEncode({
'type': type, // 'feedback' | 'review' | 'bug' | 'feature'
'comment': comment,
'page_url': 'myapp://settings',
'page_title': 'Settings',
}),
);
}Step 3: Verify the submission in your inbox
Send a test request and check the response for a feedbackId. The submission appears in your TellTide inbox immediately, tagged with the page_url and page_title context you sent — use those fields for the screen name, route, or deep link the user was on.
Good to know
- A tt_pub_ key is public by design. Build-time configuration is convenient but is not a secret store.
- Reviews accept a rating field (1–5); bug reports can carry structured detail in feedback_data.
- One TellTide app can serve iOS and Android builds together, or split them for per-platform triage.
Common questions
Should iOS and Android share one TellTide app?
Share one if you triage mobile feedback as a single stream; create two if platform-specific bugs dominate. Either way the API request is identical — only the App ID changes.
Is there a native TellTide SDK for Flutter?
No SDK is required — the API is one JSON POST with two IDs, small enough that a wrapper library would be more code than the integration itself. Your HTTP client of choice already does the job.
Is the feedback public?
No. Every submission lands in your private TellTide inbox first. You choose which feature requests to publish to your public roadmap, where users can vote and comment.
How much does TellTide cost?
Pro includes the widget, private inbox, API, and public roadmap, with a 7-day free trial. Pricing never scales with how many users you have.
