Can you embed an external form using HTML?

General Help

Hi, I’m currently looking at business management tools (BMTs) and form creation apps, and how I can integrate various elements from each into Evolve builds.

I’m aware of the iFrame component but just wondering if I can use HTML. One of the BMTs, Indy, allows form creation but only shares via HTML or shareable link, no iFrame option.

Is this possible or do I need to cross Indy off my list?

Thanks in advance?

What does the ‘share via html’ option look like? just thinking it may well be iframe just with a different name

Hi Matt, thanks for the reply. I’ve attached a screenshot of a page on Indy’s website that shows the export code. I can’t show the obtain a real export without setting up my 7 day trial, and I want to prep a few things before doing that.

I don’t really know a lot about code but that doesn’t look right for an iFrame component, especially when you compare it to an export from a different BMT called Hello Bonsai which is how I’d expect. (see below)

The reason I’m looking at Indy is primarily because it is cheaper, but if I can’t integrate the forms into Evolve then I’ll have to consider an alternative app.

@darkcurv it’s hard to be 100% sure without seeing the entirety of the embed code - but from the bit I can see I’d be inclined to agree.

However, you should be able to workaround this fairly easily just by setting up an HTML page of your own then dropping the snippet they’ve provided into it.

The basic HTML you’d need would be like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Document title</title>
</head>
<body>
    <!-- replace this line with the Indy embed code snippet -->
</body>
</html>
