We’re thrilled to announce that the ability to embed reports in other webpages is now available in Meltano! The entire team is excited about this new functionality, and this first version is the beginning of an exciting path forward for sharing and embedding Meltano reports anywhere.

Embedding a report anywhere an iframe can render is simple – just click on the “Embed” drop down menu on any Meltano report, and then “Copy Snippet” to add the code to your clipboard.

The following code snippet is an example of what you’ll have on your clipboard:

<iframe src='https://meltano.meltanodata.com/-/embed/zE8NFH9P3YwFuX2QNpA4WycsuwePpUEHj9CW8ubIgwE' style='margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; font-size: 100%; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; min-width: 500px; min-height: 400px;' />
