Stacker allows you to embed almost any external content into a record detail page, from YouTube videos to Google Maps and Airtable bases. When editing the layout of your record detail page, you have the option to add embed widgets.
How to add an embed to your Stacker app
To add an embed to your Stacker app:
Choose to either embed from a field, or from a URL
Choose a title if required
Change the height of the embed widget
Embed from field
You can embed different information for each record based on a field in your data base.
For example, in our HR app we have an attachment field for our users resumes. We can use the embed widget to pull in the information from our attachment field so that the information shown is relevant to the record.

For example, if we want to share a calendar view from our Airtable base, we can do this by selecting the URL option and pasting this into the embed widget, this will display the calendar in the layout for all records.
