How to embed a microapp in another microapp

Tiled allows you to embed a published microapp within another microapp through the Embed Tile.  This provides flexibility in the design and content of microapps, as well as keeping microapps to a manageable size. Viewers are able to have access to a wider range of microapps without having to navigate away from the microapp they were originally shared.  

Embedded microapps function just like the microapp it is embedded in and captures viewer engagement and analytics.

1. Generate a Public Link.

First you must create a Standard Public link for the source microapp you want to embed, which you can create on the Public tab of the Share window for the microapp. Alternatively, you can generate a direct share link for a specific individual.  

2. Paste Public Link in the Embed Tile

Paste the newly generated share link into the embed tile.
