Dashboards: Embed Everything Widget - Documents

Hi there,

Is there any way to upload a document to be embedded into the Embed Everything widget on a dashboard? It looks like the only option is to use a web link, but I’m wanting to directly upload a PDF file so that there aren’t any issues with whether the person who will be seeing it has access to it in my OneDrive folder ot not. Loading an actual PDF document would be easier to make sure it’s always available to whoever we have viewing our dashboard.

Thank you,

Claire

@ClaireM-HD this is something our team is considering, and we will gladly pass along the feedback. We do not have a way to solve for this yet, but stay tuned for updates!

I dont know if that is what is meant with the initial post, but is there a way that one can just upload a word document? We have hundreds(if not thousands) of policies and procedures that we currently work on updating and would love monday.com to be a solution for this, but as of right now, we keep these documents on Sharepoint. Being able to upload them directly into monday.com with the same format as the word document would be super powerful.

I was just looking to do the exact same thing that ClaireM-HD noted in her initial post. The “Embed Everything” widget is named rather deceptively if all you can do is add a Web URL!

It seems that posting a link to a PDF that’s on a Google Drive isn’t working either, giving “503 access denied” errors for every PDF I try to add.

Hey @Red-Rob

Nachliel from Easyapps here

Our monday app Universal Embedder Allows you embed public URLs in your monday Dashboards, Boards, and items

You can contact us at support@easyappshq.com, and we also provide free training sessions if you need one.

Here is an example of embedding a PDF hosted in Google Drive in a Dashboard:

So you’re saying the Universal Embedder works properly, but the “Embed Everything” widget doesn’t, is that correct?

I’ll check it out (thank you!)

I had to get a 3-user pro license even though my team is just a team of 2, so I could get those extra features. I don’t suppose there’s a way to use the free 2-user Universal Embedder version since I have a 3-user license with Monday, eh?

Should this be swapped over to the Under Consideration category?

This is a bit annoying, necessary feature!

I’m also looking for a way to embed Google Sheets and Docs. I prefer to embed them side by side.
