Third-Party Embed Code

Embed external applications, services or widgets within your website by adding embed code to your pages or design theme.

Common Third-Party Applications:

Here are some examples of third-party services you might embed on your website:

  • Google Analytics - Track website traffic and conversions.
  • Google Tag Manager - Manage all tracking codes from one place. 
  • Calendly - Allow visitors to schedule meetings with you. 
  • Hotjar - Visualize how users interact with your website.
  • Lightwidget - Display an Instagram feed on your site.
  • myPresences - Show reviews and listings from various platforms.
  • Elfsight - Add review widgets, social feeds, and more.

Where is Embed Code Added?

Depending on the application you are embedding on your website, their provided embed code will either need to be added to:

Embed a YouTube Video

For YouTube videos, use Oncord’s drag-and-drop YouTube element - no embed code required.

  • Edit the page (Dashboard > Website > Pages).
  • Click the Insert button (left sidebar).
  • Drag the YouTube element onto the page.
  • Click the element, then choose Edit.
  • Browse YouTube within the left-panel to find your video, or paste the YouTube URL and click Apply.

Add Embed Code to a Single Page

If your embed code only needs to appear on a single website page:

  1. Edit the page (Dashboard > Website > Pages).
  2. Click the Insert button (left sidebar).
  3. Drag the Embed element onto the page.
  4. Select the embed element and click Edit.
  5. Paste your embed code into the left panel.
  6. Click Apply, then Save the page.

Add Embed Code to all Pages (Within your Design)

Where embed code needs to appear across all pages, it should be added to your website design theme. As an example, Google Analytics and Google Tag manager both track data throughout all website pages, so the embed code for those applications needs to be added to your website design theme. 

  • Go to Dashboard > Website > Designs, and select your current design.
  • Click SRC in the left menu to view the source code.
  • Paste the embed code where instructed by the third-party documentation. 
  • Click Save.

Tip: Embed code often needs to be added just before the closing </head> tag, or just after the opening <body> tag. With the SRC view open, a search tool is available by using the keyboard shortcut CTRL + F. You can then search the document for the </head> or <body> tag, add one or two line breaks above it for neatness by pressing enter on your keyboard.

Tips & Best Practices

Performance impact: Embedding third-party applications will slow the load time (or page speed) of your website. 

Privacy considerations: Embedded tools often collect visitor data - ensure you're complying with privacy regulations. 

Keep things tidy: Review and remove any third-party applications you no longer use.
