How to embed external tools inside your forms
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
- Open the form or card in edit mode.
- Add the embed block from the available tools.
- Paste the link or the iframe of the content you want to show.
- Position and style the block, choosing alignment and background.
- Add a conditional rule so the block only appears when relevant.
- 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
