Support dynamic embedded klips by passing parameters

Hi, we need to embed our charting klip in external websites, but the klip needs to take a parameter so we can show different data metrics on multiple ones.

    Hi Fang -

    An embed is just an image of the Klip which you can display on your external site. It is not a dynamic component. The embed will be created with the variable values when you generate the embed code. It will only refresh if someone is active on the dashboard. It is very limited. 

    If you would like dynamic Klips, I suggest you use our published links and display in an iFrame on your external website. This will allow interaction and real time data.

    Thanks,

    That's not gonna work, since we really want to show the data specified by the parameters.

    I agree with Fang, it would be very useful to be able to add query parameters against an embedded public. Understandably though, this is not a trivial feature to add to your klipfolio platform.

    I concur. For example, we would like to display a Klip on the landing page of a signed-in user. Passing its user id in the serttings (which would then be transferred to the Klip as a variable) would be perfect.

    This is a great idea, we also need that. Can please someone from support follow up?

    Otherwise we'll be forced to create 1 different dashboard per parameter, really _NOT_ convenient.

    Hi Andrea,

    Can you tell me a little more about your use case? I'm not sure I understand the 1 different dashboard per parameter or how embeds help. I may be able to offer some suggestions on other ways you can achieve this. 

    Thanks
