How to Add and Set Up the Disqus Widget in Your Form

April 7, 2026

Jotform’s Disqus widget helps you add a comment section to your form where users can leave feedback, share suggestions, and reply to others. This gives you a simple way to collect more open and detailed responses alongside your form submissions.

Here are a few ways to use it:

  • Collect comments and suggestions directly from users.
  • Let users reply and interact through threaded discussions.
  • Capture more detailed feedback beyond standard fields.
  • Keep conversations organized within your form. 

Things to Have Ready

You’ll need your Disqus Shortname to set up the Disqus widget. If you’re not sure how or where to get these, check out these support articles from Disqus on What is a Shortname to learn more.

Whether you’re creating a new form or updating an existing one, you can add and set up the Disqus Widget in a few easy steps. Here’s how to do it:

  1. In Form Builder, click on Add Element on the left side of the page.
