Flow SSO Integration, iFrame Option and Custom URL
What is and Why SSO?

- Single Sign On helps user administrators use the customer database on your premises (for instance, the customer database on your website) and generate individual login links for each user.
- You can place the link in their profile to see when they log in.
- This helps them access the webinar room without having to remember more usernames/passwords and try to enter them once again.
No more manual link generation or sharing!
General Integration Flow
It is easier to integrate Flow into your customer database using either PHP or Node.js code.
- The code is simple; you just have to input the account token (API) to fetch the list of webinar rooms with respective Room IDs as the first step
- In the second step, you fetch email, first name, and last name from your member database
- With the Room ID, you feed the email, first and last name to the URL generation code. You also feed the API secret key in the next few lines of code
- This URL you generate can be presented to a member (attendee) who is logged into your member portal. When the attendee clicks the link, he/she will be directed to the webinar room (they could still see flowapp.com login URL)
- You can cloak/obfuscate the URL before connecting it to the clickable button.
The code will be provided only upon request. Contact us to obtain the details and get implementation help.
Embedding the Webinar Room using an iFrame
If you are willing to open the Webinar Room within your website as a frame, you can easily use an iFrame.
- Note that when using the iFrame, use a button to let the user click and then load the webinar room inside an iFrame that is embedded in the web page (attendees won't notice it)
- Use an appropriate iFrame size
- Limit the height of the page to a small area above the iFrame and nothing below the iFrame - this will stop autoscrolling
- See the example below:
A: Click a Button to Join the Webinar Room
B: The Room Opens in an iFrame
Using Your Own URL (White Labeling)
When you use the iFrame on your website for your attendee to load the web page, you can restrict the iFrame to hide any additional information while keeping it embedded to one of the web pages on your website. Then the attendees won't have to see the Flow webinar room login URL. See the example below.
