Collect star rating feedback with self-contained HTML forms and data tables

Alexander Schnabl's template runs entirely on n8n nodes, so a feedback widget stops being a reason to buy another subscription.

What it is.

One webhook path serves two things: a GET request returns a styled HTML form with a required 1 to 5 star rating and an optional message, and a POST saves the response to an n8n Data Table.

Query-string parameters ride along, so a link carrying a plan name or a campaign source lands attached to the rating. A confirmation page closes the loop with no redirect to anywhere else.

Nothing external is involved, which means no survey subscription and no third-party script on your pages.

What you get.

  • A hosted feedback form with configurable text, colors, and button labels.
  • A required 1 to 5 star rating with an optional written message.
  • Submissions stored in an n8n Data Table, including any query-string context passed in.
  • A branded confirmation page after a valid submission.
  • No external services, so the whole thing lives on your own instance.
HOW TO USE IT

How to set it up.

1

Import it and set the webhook path, since the same path serves the form and receives the post.

2

Edit the HTML node for your own colors, heading, and button label.

3

Create the Data Table columns for rating, message, and the query parameters you plan to pass.

4

Add the parameters you care about to the link, so ratings arrive with a plan or a source attached.

5

Submit once from a phone, because the form is what your customer sees.

6

Decide where the ratings go next, since the template stores them and alerts nobody.

Use cases

Feedback form with no extra vendor

Host the form on the same automation platform you already run.

Rating plus a comment

Require the star and let people add the sentence that explains it.

Brand the form

Change the text and colors so it does not look borrowed.

Best for

Post-onboarding check-ins

One question after a setup call, with the plan name attached to the answer.

In-product prompts

A link you can drop in an email or a banner without adding a script to your site.

Attributing feedback to campaigns

Query parameters mean a rating arrives knowing which email sent it.

Questions about Lifecycle & Email

Is a star rating worth collecting on its own?
Where should a rating prompt appear?
Strengths
  • It runs entirely on n8n nodes, so there is no survey subscription behind it.
  • Query-string context is stored with the rating, which makes the data segmentable later.
  • The rating is required and the comment is optional, so more people finish it.
Limitations
  • It stores and does not notify, so a low score sits in a table until somebody looks.
  • Data Tables are an n8n feature, so an older instance may need upgrading first.
  • There is no spam protection on the endpoint, so a public link needs a token or a rate limit.
  • Star ratings alone tell you little, and the optional comment carries the reason.
Skip this if
  • Skip it if you already collect ratings through a survey tool you pay for.
Ideal for
  • Lifecycle marketers
  • Customer success leads
  • Stage: Any stage
