Embeds

Embeds make it easy to share Orbit-powered experiences to your organization, community, or a broader audience. You can add Embeds to your website, productivity tools like Notion and Airtable, or even share them as standalone pages.

While embeds are inherently public and do not require the viewer to have an Orbit account, you get precise control over where they can be embedded, and you can revoke the embedding at any time.

Embed types

Activity Feed

Activity feed embeds display a reverse-chronological activity feed of your community, just like the one you see in the Activities timeline:

By default, Notes and teammate activities are hidden from this feed.

🧪
We’re working on making embedded activity feeds customizable with filters, so that you can only show GitHub contributions, or activities from your champions, etc… This is not yet possible in the UI, but you can reach out to [email protected] with your request and our team will customize your feed for you.

Create an Embed

🧪
This functionality is currently in beta and is being rolled out progressively. If you wish to get early access, please let us know in Discord or at [email protected]!
  1. Click on “Settings” in the navigation sidebar
  2. Click on “Embeds”
  3. Click on “Create New Embed” and select the embed type
  4. Give your embed a descriptive name, and define the domains on which it’ll available:

For additional security, Embeds can only be added to websites that you have explicitly allowed through the list of Allowed domains. When a page containing an Embed loads, Orbit verifies whether the calling website is allowed—if that‘s not the case, an error will be shown:

The error “app.orbit.love refused to connect” indicates that you should add the website to the list of allowed domains.
The error “app.orbit.love refused to connect” indicates that you should add the website to the list of allowed domains.

It is possible to allow several domains, and to use wildcards. For example:

  • orbit.love allows embeds in pages such as https://orbit.love/programs, but not from https://app.orbit.love/my-workspace. *.orbit.love, on the other hand, allows both.
  • www.notion.so, orbit-love.atlassian.net will allow embeds on Notion and Confluence
  • * will allow embeds on all websites. This is discouraged, as anyone with the embed link will be able to embed the activity feed on any website they want.

Include the embed

Once the embed is created, it can be included or accessed in three ways:

  • On third-party tools, like Notion, Confluence or Airtable (the interactive demo above uses just that)
  • Via an <iframe> snippet to be added on your website
  • As a standalone page that can be shared to folks in your organization, or your community

The specific instructions for each option can be found on the Embeds’ page in your workspace settings.

Embeds are designed to be shared to viewers who do not have an Orbit account (e.g. the other teams in your organization, or your community members): they are readonly, and are stripped of all internal links to other parts of your workspace, like specific member or organization profiles.

If, however, you’re viewing an embed on a browser you’re signed into Orbit with, these links are reintroduced, making it easy to get additional context.
