Use a javascript chat solution to allow users to send messages to our database

0
Hello, I am trying to create a way for users to send comments to our database relating to different pages involving details of an entity. For example, I go to a car dealer website and I am able to send a message in a chat box.  I have users that want to enter a comment while navigating different pages on our mendix site and submit at any time. Does anyone know of a way we can achieve this functionality?

Not sure what you want to achieve but: Create a non-persistent object in which you store the comment clientside using a nanoflow. Will that help you out?

Hi Matthew,

I would check out the chatter module.

Matthew,

You may want to check out a webinar being offered by Mendix tomorrow:

Or maybe the feedback widget is more then enough for your use case?

Hi Matthew, you can definitely do this with a JavaScript-based chat or messaging widget that stays available across pages and sends data to your backend. You could also look at solutions such as Rocket.Chat (for a ready-made widget) or MirrorFly and Apphitect, which let you embed chat or comment-style messaging directly into your app and store messages in your own database. This approach fits well with Mendix-style apps, too.
