Embed Widgets

An embed widget lets you display most online content on an AgencyAnalytics dashboard or web report using an iFrame. As long as the platform you're embedding from allows embedded content, you can show it right alongside your other reporting widgets.

  • Embed content from platforms like YouTube, Google Suite, TikTok, and Instagram

  • Use either a URL or an iFrame code, depending on what the source platform provides

  • Resize and reposition embedded content on the page

Not sure where to find an iFrame embed code? Platforms like YouTube, X, Google Suite, and more have an embed option under the "Share" menu!


How to Embed Content on a Dashboard or Report

You can add an embed widget to any dashboard or report in just a few steps.

There are two ways to add widgets to a report. The steps here use the Add Widgets On Hover option. If your account has the Widget Toolbar, see Add and Filter Widgets Using the Legacy Toolbar

Step 1: With a Report or Dashboard open, hover over any empty part of the page. A ghost cell appears to show you exactly where the widget will land.

Step 2: Click the ghost cell to open the widget picker.

Step 3: Select the Media tab, then click Embed to add the widget to your page. Your widget drops into the spot you picked, and the edit panel opens below it automatically.

Step 4: Click the widget, then in the edit widget pop-up, select URL or iFrame.

Step 5: Enter the iFrame code or URL for the content you want to embed.

The embed widget can use either a URL or an iFrame code. What displays depends on the URL configuration provided by the application you’re embedding.

Step 6: Resize the embedded content by clicking the bottom-right corner and dragging it outward.

Step 7: Reposition the embedded content by clicking and dragging the widget across the dashboard or report.


How to Embed a TikTok Video

Step 1: With a Report or Dashboard open, hover over any empty part of the page. A ghost cell appears to show you exactly where the widget will land.

Step 2: Click the ghost cell to open the widget picker.

Step 3: Select the Media tab, then click Embed to add the widget to your page. Your widget drops into the spot you picked, and the edit panel opens below it automatically.

Step 4: Click the widget, then in the edit widget pop-up, select URL.

Step 5: Copy the video ID from the TikTok video URL. The video ID number appears right after "/video/" in the URL.

For example, in this URL, the video ID number is 7415240528377154821.

https://www.tiktok.com/@agencyanalytics/video/7415240528377154821, 

Step 6: Append the video ID to the end of TikTok's embed URL. The result should look like this:

https://www.tiktok.com/embed/7415240528377154821

Step 7: Copy this new URL and paste it into the URL field of the embed widget you added earlier.

Step 8: Resize the widget by dragging the bottom-right corner to adjust the content size.


How to Embed an Instagram Post

Step 1: With a Report or Dashboard open, hover over any empty part of the page. A ghost cell appears to show you exactly where the widget will land.

Step 2: Click the ghost cell to open the widget picker.

Step 3: Select the Media tab, then click Embed to add the widget to your page. Your widget drops into the spot you picked, and the edit panel opens below it automatically.

Step 4: In a separate tab, open Instagram and locate the post you want to embed.

Step 5: Click the Ellipses in the top right corner of the post, then click Copy link.

Step 6: Paste the copied URL into any text editor or text field. It will look similar to this:

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb-oo-tMKdv/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Step 7: Replace "?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" with "/embed/". The URL should look like this afterward:

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb-oo-tMKdv/embed/

Step 8: Copy the new URL, then return to the dashboard or report where you added the embed widget.

Step 9: Paste the URL into the URL field.

Step 8: Resize the embed widget to the size and shape you prefer by dragging the bottom-right corner.

Step 9: Click Save to capture your changes.
