How to Embed External Content Into a Process
To embed external content into a process, you bring the page the person would otherwise open into the card itself. The decision and the information it requires end up on one screen.
What tab-switching costs
Each switch is a small interruption repeated hundreds of times.
- A scheduling link sent separately after a form
- An exchange rate looked up in another tab
- Instructions explained in a message rather than shown
- Context lost between the record and the reference
What is worth embedding
| Content | Why embed it |
|---|---|
| Scheduling link | Booking happens in the same session as the request |
| Live exchange rate | The decision is made with the current figure visible |
| Explanatory video | A field is understood rather than guessed at |
| A PDF | The document is read without downloading |
How to set it up in Jestor
- Add an embed block in Jestor to the form or card.
- Paste the link; the editor confirms whether the page allows embedding.
- Set the block's height so the content fits without internal scrolling.
- Use conditionals so different answers reveal different embedded content.
- Use PDF blocks specifically for documents held in attachment fields.
Why choose Jestor for contextual information?
Jestor applies conditionals to embed blocks as to any other block, so a form can show one calendar or one reference depending on what the person answered.
Because embeds work on public forms too, an external respondent can qualify and book in one session rather than in three messages.
