Embed in Workapps/Dashboards

BaseCap

Hello!

I’m trying to embed an external content into a dashboard and/or a workapp.

The content is from an extremely famous weather service/website/app (www.windy.com)

the embed code works everywhere else perfectly but not on Smartsheet (either dashboard embed or workapp embed)

any help?

thanks

1. Check Embed Code Compatibility:
   • Ensure that the embed code from Windy.com is in an iframe format, as this is typically supported by Smartsheet.
   • Some external content may not be supported due to security restrictions or domain limitations.
2. Troubleshoot Common Issues:
   • Security Restrictions: Some websites may have security settings that prevent their content from being embedded in other platforms. Check if Windy.com has any such restrictions.
   • Domain Whitelisting: Smartsheet may require certain domains to be whitelisted to allow embedding. Verify if Windy.com is on the allowed list.

Thanks Ejaz for your swift reply

1 - IAttached is the Code, it should be iFrame right?

<iframe width="650" height="450" src="https://embed.windy.com/embed.html?type=map&location=coordinates&metricRain=default&metricTemp=default&metricWind=default&zoom=5&overlay=wind&product=ecmwf&level=surface&lat=51.496&lon=-0.122" frameborder="0"></iframe>

2 - I did a search on windy and it doesnt look like windy has restrictions on embedding content in their platform

3 - About the whitelist : is it a general smartsheet whitelist? How can i check this info and who should I ask eventually to have windy whitelisted?

Thanks

Stefan

Hi @BaseCap,

embedding via iframes in Smartsheet is limited to domains listed on this webpage:

To get additional domains onto the list you can post it as idea in the Smartsheet community and hope other users vote for it.

Hope this helps
