To **embed external tools in forms**, you add a block that renders content from another service directly inside the form or card. In **Jestor**, that can be a scheduling link, a live currency rate, a map, a video or a full presentation, and conditional rules decide which one appears.

## Why static forms create extra steps

A form that only collects answers ends with a handoff: now someone has to qualify the response, pick the right team and send a scheduling link.

Embedding removes that round trip. The person answers, and the relevant next step appears in the same screen.

What embedding replaces:

- Sending a scheduling link after qualifying a lead
- Opening a separate tab to check a rate before deciding
- Attaching a presentation as a file nobody opens
- Explaining a location in text instead of showing a map

## What teams commonly embed

| Embedded content      | Where it helps                    | Example                               |
| --------------------- | --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| Scheduling link       | Booking without a handoff         | Meeting booked at the end of the form |
| Live rate             | Decisions that depend on a number | Currency rate in foreign trade        |
| Map                   | Location context                  | Site or delivery address              |
| Video                 | Explaining a complex field        | Tutorial inside the form              |
| Spreadsheet or slides | Reference material in context     | Price list or proposal deck           |

## Step by step to configure it

1. **Open the form or card** in edit mode.
2. **Add the embed block** from the available tools.
3. **Paste the link or the iframe** of the content you want to show.
4. **Position and style the block**, choosing alignment and background.
5. **Add a conditional rule** so the block only appears when relevant.
6. **Create variations** where different answers should lead to different content.

## Why conditionals are the real unlock

A generic scheduling link means everyone books with the same team, and someone reassigns afterwards. A conditional link routes a small client to one calendar and a large one to another, at the moment of booking.

- **Different link per answer:** routing decided by the form itself
- **Product based routing:** each product line can point to its own team
- **No qualification step afterwards:** the routing already happened
- **Works in forms and cards:** the same block serves both
