The Embedded External Content Web Control allows an app builder to embed external websites within their applications. It should be noted that in many cases, external websites will not display correctly within the application in a user's browser due to or other security mechanisms employed by sites to prevent content being embedded externally.
📘 This feature is intended for App Builders to embed sites which they have control over so that the necessary security mechanisms can be set to allow Airkit to embed the desired content.
It should be noted that the embedded content is set within a Sandbox iFrame. This means that the embedded content cannot communicate to the web page or the rest of the Airkit application.

To receive the event from the iFrame to the Airkit App, create the incoming event in the Connections Builder and use the Web SDK to trigger the event from the iFrame. For more information, see .
