Embed a link into an Item

Embed and view any publicly available link from within your items on a monday board.

Step 1 - Install Universal Embedder into your View

1. Go to the the Main Table of the monday board you would like to add the app to.

2. Click the Start Conversation button of any item in the Main Table view to open the item's Updates / Views Section

3. Click the Add View (+) button to open the Item Views Center, enter Universal Embedder in the search box, and click the Add to item button.

Step 2 - Add a URL to a Board Link Column

1. Click into the relevant Item's Link Column - Universal Embedder will only work when a link is added to a Link Column, so make sure your column is the right type.

2. Grab the URL you want to add - first make sure the link is publicly available. If you need a hand figuring out how to generate a shareable link you can read our guide here.

Click to view in full screen

1. Hover over your Item and click Open.

2. Choose the Universal Embedder View - within the Item Card you have different Views. If you are not already on the Universal Embedder View, click on the tab labelled Universal Embedder.

Step 3 - Click on the Link Column you want to display

Within the Universal Embedder View, all of the Link Columns that contain a URL for that Item are viewable from there. To display your link:

1. Click on the name of the column it was added to.

2. This will open up a preview of that link embedded directly into monday. Voilà!
