How to Embed a Jira Dashboard into a Google Site

Corey Meyer

I am wanting to embed a Jira Dashboard into a Google site. When I use the simple Google site GUI and embed the dashboard URL it says "The URL provided does not allow all embedding options".

Is there an alternate URL, HTML Code, add-on or any other method to embed a Jira Dashboard? How do permissions come into play for view access to the board?

Thanks.

Hello @Corey Meyer ,

There is not a native method in Jira to embed data in an external site, and the application is actually designed in a way to prevent embedding in an iframe as a security measure to prevent possible attack vectors this would open up, as a result, the application does constant authentication checks that will not play nice with the redirects performed in an iframe.

To get this functionality you will want to look in the marketplace for an app that will translate the data for use in an external webpage, I did a quick search to narrow the results down at the link below:

Alternatively, if you are in a position where you would be able to write your own gadget or add-on to do this I recommend starting here:
