Obtaining the Embed code

For every publication, you can click on the Share option and select the Embed tab where you will find a unique embed code to add onto your website or landing page.

Publication Embed code:

You can also automatically embed your most recent publication on your website or blog with only a one-time setup required. This is specially helpful if you have weekly or monthly catalogs.

You'll find this particular embed code in the Website integration tab of your group's settings.

Locating the Website integration code:

TIP: When using this feature, we recommend that you always keep at least one Publication online to ensure that there is something for this integration to show your visitors. Click here to read more.

 

Applying the right size

Responsive
We recommend selecting the "Responsive" embed code which adjusts the publication's size to perfectly fit the content frame you're adding the embed code to.
 
Custom size
If necessary, you can set a custom size which uses fixed dimensions. In this case, the embedded publication will not adapt its size relative to the browser size.
 
Smaller sizes
If the width of an embedded publication is less than 800 pixels, or the height is less than 500 pixels, the hotspots will be hidden. When the pages are reduced in size, selecting hotspots can become a tedious experiences, specially when there are many or smaller hotspots available. Instead, when users click on a page, or the Open button beneath the pages, the publication will load in a full size popup window where all hotspots are available.

Hotspots are hidden if the publication becomes smaller:

If the publications becomes even smaller (400 x 400 pixels or less), the bottom bar with the Open button disappears as well. Because the content is hardly visible anymore at this scale we recommend to use an image or animation instead, and link it to a new landing page where the publication is embedded as large as possible.

Avoid embedding multiple publications on a single page

Even though it is possible to embed and load multiple publications on a single page, this can have a negative impact on the way your publications are tracked and any reporting you based on this.

Increased bounce rate
For example, if a user only interacts with one of the embedded publications, the other publications will register a bounce (a session that has seen no interactions). Therefor, the bounce rate of your publications can increase significantly.

Report filters sowing incorrect results
Embedding multiple publications on a single page can also contaminate reports that rely on publication-filters. As Google Analytics is not able to track the embedded publications individually pageviews and events get blended into a single session. If you are using custom dimensions to filter pageviews and events on publication-level, details from one publication can be reported as originating from another publication.
