3. URL requirements:

   • Ensure that the URL you provide is intended for iframe embedding. This means it should be a direct link to the content you wish to embed and not a full HTML page or an iframe tag.

   • Examples of suitable iframe URLs:

     • Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/embed?...

     • YouTube Video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID

     Note that if you have an iframe tag that looks like the following: <iframe src="https://app.mayday.fr/desk/embed/default/contents/id"></iframe> you should only pass the link inside the “src” attribute.

   Only URLs explicitly intended to be integrated into iframes will work in Mayday Desk.

   Ensure that you have permission to embed the content from the respective service.

4. Configuration registration:

   • Once you have filled in all the required information, save your configuration settings.

   Your embedded content will now be visible within your Mayday Desk interface.
