Embedding an interactive dashboard in Webflow means inserting live, filterable charts and metrics—usually delivered by a BI or analytics tool—into a Webflow site using custom code so visitors can explore data without leaving the page.
Webflow is a powerful no-code platform for building pixel-perfect websites, but it does not ship with native business intelligence (BI) visualizations. If you need to surface real-time metrics—whether for a customer-facing analytics portal, an internal operations page, or a marketing dashboard—you’ll embed an external tool such as Looker Studio, Tableau, Power BI, Supabase charts, or a custom React component.
Adding interactive dashboards directly to your Webflow site lets stakeholders view key metrics in context, removes friction caused by context-switching to a separate analytics portal, and helps drive engagement with your data product. Modern BI tools expose secure embed links, meaning you can ship analytics without maintaining separate hosting infrastructure.
<iframe>
, script tag, or div
placeholder snippet.Tableau, Looker Studio, Mode, Supabase, Retool, Metabase, and Power BI all offer URL or iframe embeds. Verify that the vendor allows public or private (auth-gated) embeds depending on your use case.
Most tools provide a button—often labeled Embed, Share, or Publish—that outputs code similar to:
<iframe src="https://lookerstudio.google.com/embed/reporting/ab12cd34" width="600" height="450" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Copy this snippet.
You can also inject code in Site Settings → Custom Code → Head or Body if the vendor requires external JavaScript.
Dashboards look best when they scale with the viewport. Wrap the iframe in a div with position: relative; padding-top: 56.25%;
(for 16:9) and set the iframe to position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%;
. Webflow’s embed block accepts inline styles, so you can implement this without touching external CSS files.
If the dashboard must be visible only to logged-in users or must show user-specific data, you have three main strategies:
<script>
on page load.The following example pulls revenue data from PostgreSQL, renders a chart in a lightweight React component, and embeds that component in Webflow via a <script>
tag served by Vercel.
// revenue-dashboard.jsx
import {{ createClient }} from '@supabase/supabase-js';
import {{ Line }} from 'react-chartjs-2';
const supabase = createClient(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL,
process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY);
export default async function RevenueChart() {{
const {{ data }} = await supabase
.from('payments')
.select('created_at, amount')
.order('created_at');
const chartData = {{
labels: data.map(row => row.created_at),
datasets: [{{
label: 'Revenue',
data: data.map(row => row.amount),
borderColor: '#6366f1',
tension: 0.4,
}}]
}};
return <Line data={{chartData}} />;
}}
Deploy the component to Vercel, copy the deployment’s script tag, and paste it into a Webflow Embed element. Supabase’s Row-Level Security (RLS) policies ensure that each user sees only the rows they’re authorized to view.

.Before you can embed a dashboard, you need performant SQL queries powering it. Galaxy’s modern SQL editor and context-aware AI copilot help you draft, optimize, and document those queries faster. Store production-grade SQL in Galaxy Collections, Endorse them for team reuse, and feed the verified queries into your BI tool with confidence.
1. Prototype your embed in a Webflow staging site.
2. Audit loading performance with Lighthouse.
3. Add user-level security if needed.
4. Pair your SQL workflow with Galaxy to speed up iteration.
Stakeholders increasingly expect data-rich experiences inside the apps and sites they already use. Embedding a live dashboard in Webflow eliminates the need to redirect users to a separate analytics portal, improves engagement, and shortens feedback loops. For SaaS teams, it also unlocks new monetization (analytics add-ons) without a full-stack engineering lift.
Publish the Tableau workbook, click Share, copy the iframe, and paste it into a Webflow Embed element. Ensure allowfullscreen
is enabled and use responsive CSS for mobile.
Yes. You can pass URL query parameters like ?user_id=123
directly in the iframe src
. If parameters come from Webflow CMS fields, insert them using the Add Field dropdown inside the Embed editor.
Absolutely. Galaxy’s AI copilot can draft the underlying SQL, optimize join strategies, and document the query. You can then feed those queries into your BI tool, ensuring that the embedded dashboard displays accurate, performant data.
Use private embed links or an SDK that expects a signed JWT. Combine this with Webflow Memberships or a custom auth layer to gate access. Test in Incognito to verify that unauthenticated users are blocked.
