Integrate External Content into Your Dashboards with Embed Widgets

Our embed widget feature allows you to effortlessly incorporate a variety of online content into your GHL dashboards through iframes. If a platform supports embedded content, you can display it directly within your dashboards, including web pages, Google Data Studio reports, Google Docs, slideshows, calendars, Loom videos, YouTube videos, social media posts, feeds, and more.

Step 1: Access the Dashboard

Begin by navigating to the Dashboard section, then click on the Icon button. 

Step 2: Add a Widget

After clicking the Icon, select the "Add Widget" button from the drop-down menu that appears. 

Step 3: Open the Objects Tab

To proceed, click on the "Objects" tab, where you’ll find the option to add an Embed widget. 

Step 4: Configure the Embed Object

First, enter a title for your widget. 

Then, in the "Type" section, select "URL" if you wish to embed a specific link. Ensure that the URL is fully qualified. Here’s an example of an Instagram URL formatted for embedding: https://www.instagram.com/p/C04TE0DsEkW/embed/ 

Alternatively, if you have an iframe code, select "IFRAME" and paste the code into the provided text box. Below is an example of an iframe snippet:

html

Copy code

<iframe src="https://www.openstreetmap.org/export/embed.htmlbbox=-0.004017949104309083%2C51.47612752641776%2C0.00030577182769775396%2C51.478569861898606&layer=mapnik"></iframe>

If you prefer not to display the widget’s title, you can select the "Hide Title" option in the advanced settings. 

To finalize, click "Save" to apply your changes. 

Embedding Specific Content Types

1. YouTube Videos: Add an Embed widget, then append the video's ID (found after /watch?v= in the URL) to https://www.youtube.com/embed/. For instance, if your YouTube URL is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFTIQDCvIrc, your final URL will be https://www.youtube.com/embed/bFTIQDCvIrc.

2. TikTok Videos: Similarly, add an Embed widget and append the video ID (found after /video/ in the URL) to https://www.tiktok.com/embed/.

3. Instagram Posts: Obtain the shareable link for your Instagram post, which may look like this: https://www.instagram.com/p/C04TE0DsEkW/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link. Replace ?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link with /embed/, so the URL becomes https://www.instagram.com/p/C04TE0DsEkW/embed/. Use this URL in your embed widget configuration.

Important Notes

Some websites or platforms restrict the use of their content in iframes. Also, to unlock the ability to customize dashboards and widgets, this feature is included in the higher plan. Upgrading your subscription will allow access to these advanced features.
