Embedding overview

Introduction

What is embedding, and how does it work?

Interactive embedding

The solution to self-service customer analytics: embed the full Metabase app in your app. Interactive embedding integrates with your data permissions to let people slice and dice data on their own using Metabase’s query builder.

Interactive embedding quick start

You’ll embed the full Metabase application in your app. Once logged in, people can view a Metabase dashboard in your web app, and be able to use the full Metabase application to explore their data, and only their data.

Static embedding

Also known as Signed Embedding, Static embedding offers drill-through with custom destinations, so you can define what happens when people click on a chart, like sending people to another chart or URL–all while securing the underlying data.

Parameters for signed embeds

You can pass parameters between Metabase and your website via the embedding URL to specify how Metabase items should look and behave inside the iframe on your website.

Public embeds

You can also create unsecured public links or embeds of questions and dashboards.
