How to Embed External Content in GoHighLevel Dashboards

Connecting tools like ClickUp, analytics platforms, or custom web apps directly into your GoHighLevel dashboard lets your team work from a single, unified view. This guide walks you step by step through embedding external content so you can display reports, apps, or widgets without leaving your CRM environment.

Why Embed External Content in GoHighLevel

Embedding external content in GoHighLevel helps centralize important data and tools for faster decision-making and better visibility.

Common use cases include:

  • Displaying external analytics or BI dashboards.
  • Showing web apps or forms your team uses every day.
  • Adding training portals or documentation views for quick access.
  • Surfacing campaign performance or pipeline data from another system.

Instead of switching between multiple tabs, you can keep your most-used external pages directly in your GoHighLevel dashboard layout.

Requirements Before You Start in GoHighLevel

Before embedding content in your GoHighLevel dashboard, confirm the following:

  • You have access to a GoHighLevel account with dashboard customization permissions.
  • The external site you want to embed supports being loaded in an iframe.
  • You have the correct URL for the dashboard, report, or page you want to display.

Some external services block embedding in iframes for security reasons. If your content does not display correctly, you may need to adjust settings on the external platform or contact their support.

Step-by-Step: Add an Iframe Widget in GoHighLevel

Embedding external content into GoHighLevel is done with an iframe widget inside the dashboard editor. Follow the steps below.

Step 1: Open the Dashboard in GoHighLevel

  1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
  2. Navigate to the Dashboard area where you want to display the external content.
  3. If you use multiple dashboards, select the specific dashboard tab you want to modify.

Make sure you have edit rights for the dashboard you are viewing.

Step 2: Enter Dashboard Edit Mode in GoHighLevel

  1. Inside your chosen dashboard, look for an option such as Edit or a settings icon for customizing widgets.
  2. Click the control that opens the dashboard editor so you can add or rearrange widgets.

Once in edit mode, you will be able to add a new widget tile for your external content.

Step 3: Add a New Iframe Widget

  1. In the dashboard editor, locate the option to Add Widget or the widget library.
  2. From the available widget types, select the one intended for embedding external pages, typically labeled something similar to Iframe or Embed.
  3. Drag this widget onto your layout or click to insert it into a free widget slot.

The iframe widget is what lets GoHighLevel display an external URL within the dashboard frame.

Step 4: Configure the External URL

  1. Once the iframe widget is added, open its settings or configuration panel.
  2. Locate the field where you can enter a URL.
  3. Paste the full URL of the external content you want to embed. This could be:
    • An analytics dashboard URL.
    • A project management view.
    • A reporting interface or any other web page you are allowed to embed.
  4. Review additional settings such as:
    • Title for the widget tile.
    • Height or sizing options.
    • Any scroll or border display options, if available.

Double-check that your URL is correct and accessible from within your GoHighLevel environment.

Step 5: Resize and Arrange the Iframe Widget

  1. Still in edit mode, drag the edges or corners of the iframe widget to adjust its size.
  2. Position the widget on the dashboard where it is most useful for your workflow.
  3. Align it with other widgets, such as built-in GoHighLevel metrics or reports, for a cohesive layout.

Proper sizing ensures that the embedded content is readable without unnecessary scrolling.

Step 6: Save Your GoHighLevel Dashboard Layout

  1. After configuring and positioning the iframe widget, click Save or the equivalent button to apply dashboard changes.
  2. Exit edit mode and return to normal dashboard view.
  3. Verify that your external content loads correctly inside the new widget tile.

If the content does not load, you may see an error message from the external site. This often indicates restrictions on being embedded in an iframe.

Troubleshooting Embedded Content in GoHighLevel

When embedding external pages into GoHighLevel, you may encounter issues related to security or configuration. Use the tips below.

Check Iframe Restrictions

Some websites send headers that block loading inside an iframe. If your content refuses to display:

  • Confirm if the platform supports embedding dashboards on third-party sites.
  • Look for a specific embed or share URL instead of the standard browser URL.
  • Contact the external provider to see if they allow iframe embedding.

Verify Access and Permissions

If the external page requires a login:

  • Open the same URL in another browser tab and log in first.
  • Refresh the dashboard in GoHighLevel so the authenticated session is recognized.
  • Ensure your organization’s SSO or authentication rules support embedded sessions.

Optimize Layout for Usability

To make embedded content easier to work with inside GoHighLevel:

  • Increase the widget height to reduce vertical scrolling.
  • Place the iframe widget near related GoHighLevel metrics or automation views.
  • Use a clear title so team members instantly recognize what the embedded panel contains.

Best Practices for GoHighLevel Embedded Dashboards

To keep your embedded dashboards efficient and user-friendly, follow these practices:

  • Limit the number of heavy external embeds on a single page to avoid slow loading.
  • Group similar widgets, such as analytics in one row and operations in another.
  • Standardize naming for your iframe widgets so users understand the purpose at a glance.
  • Test on different devices to ensure the iframe content is visible on standard laptop resolutions.

Thoughtful configuration ensures your GoHighLevel dashboard remains responsive and easy to navigate.
