๐Ÿ”Œ Embed Events: two-way communication for embedded dashboards

new feature

Embed Events brings two-way communication between your host application and an embedded Holistics dashboard using the browser's standard postMessage API.

Previously, embedded dashboards were one-directional โ€” your app could configure the embed at load time but couldn't respond to user interactions or send commands afterwards. With Embed Events you can:

  • Sync filters โ€” push filter values from your app into the dashboard, or listen for user filter changes and reflect them in your app
  • Navigate dashboards โ€” build a custom tab switcher or menu that controls the iframe without a full reload
  • React to errors โ€” detect embed_error events and auto-refresh an expired JWT to keep the session alive
