Develop custom innovation experiences

Move at the speed of light with a platform that you can customize with code in seconds.

Need to Embed Ideanote Directly Into Your Product Ecosystem?

Your team already works in specific tools, portals, and websites. Asking them to switch contexts slows down idea collection and breaks their workflow.

Ideanote's custom code feature lets you integrate the platform into your existing digital environment. Add a code snippet to the head or body section of your workspace to adjust styling, embed iframes into collection views, or add overlays like onboarding videos and help widgets.

This works for teams who want to place idea collection forms directly on SharePoint pages, internal portals, or member-only sections of their website. You control the experience your users see and keep ideation where they already spend their time.

The same approach applies to analytics. If you use a privacy-compliant tracking tool, you add the tracking code directly into Ideanote. Your data flows into your wider analytics setup without manual exports or workarounds.

Ideanote operates as a modular system. You get a complete idea management platform and the flexibility to layer in your own code when you need to connect deeper into your product stack.

This means faster deployment, fewer obstacles for your users, and an innovation process that fits your organization instead of forcing you to adapt.

How do I embed Ideanote into my existing website or product?

You add an iframe code snippet directly into your webpage or product interface. Paste the iframe code into the body or head section where you want the Ideanote experience to appear. This lets you present idea collection, browsing, or submission flows right inside your existing digital environment.

The embedded view displays Ideanote content in a contained frame on your page. Users interact with ideas without leaving your site or product. You control where the embed appears and how large the frame displays.

How do I embed Ideanote into SharePoint or our intranet portal?

You add Ideanote to SharePoint or portal pages through an iframe embed. SharePoint supports iframe web parts. You paste your Ideanote iframe code into the web part configuration, and the idea collection or workspace appears on that portal page.

This approach works for most intranet systems that support iframe embeds. Your employees access Ideanote directly from the tools they already use daily. No need to send them to a separate application.

How do I simplify the interface when embedding Ideanote?

You add custom CSS code to hide or adjust specific interface elements. Paste your styling code into the custom code section of your Ideanote workspace. This lets you remove navigation menus, adjust layouts, or streamline the view to focus users on specific actions like submitting ideas.

For example, you might hide the left sidebar when embedding a single collection view. This creates a more focused experience for users who only need to browse or submit ideas in one place.

How does custom code work with single sign-on and user authentication?

Custom code does not manage authentication or user sessions. Ideanote handles user access through your existing SSO setup or user management system. When users access an embedded Ideanote frame, they authenticate through your configured method.

If your users are already signed into your website or product, they still need valid Ideanote credentials or SSO access to view protected content in the embed. The custom code feature focuses on presentation and tracking, not identity management.

What analytics or tracking tools do I connect with custom code?

You paste tracking scripts from privacy-compliant analytics platforms into your Ideanote workspace. This includes tools like Google Analytics, Matomo, or similar services. The script runs on your Ideanote pages and sends usage data to your analytics platform.

You see how users interact with ideas, which collections get the most activity, and where people spend time in your innovation program. Make sure your tracking setup complies with your privacy policies and regulations like GDPR.

How do I add overlays or widgets like chat support or video tutorials?

You paste the overlay or widget code into the custom code section of your workspace. Many help chat services and video tools provide code snippets for this purpose. Once added, the overlay appears on your Ideanote pages alongside your idea collections and workflows.

This works for onboarding videos, help documentation pop-ups, customer support chats, or announcement banners. You manage when and where these overlays appear by adjusting the code snippet settings.

Does Ideanote offer APIs for deeper custom integrations?

Yes, Ideanote provides REST APIs for custom integrations that go beyond embedded experiences. You use these APIs to push data into Ideanote, pull idea data into other systems, or build automated workflows between Ideanote and your product ecosystem.

The custom code feature focuses on presentation, styling, tracking, and embedded frames. For data exchange, user provisioning, or complex automation, you work with the API documentation to build those connections.
