Embed Forms, Reports and Pages

Overview

Zoho Creator lets you embed Forms and Reports in your website, wiki or blogs just by pasting the embed url of the form or report. By default, the embed URL will be a private URL and provides access to the embedded form, only by login. You can use the publish option to get the public url of the form. The public url provides access to the embedded form, without login.  (i.e) any user who has access to the location where the form/report is embedded, will have access to the embedded form. You can customize the look and feel of the embedded form/report to match your website.
