Embed · Zendesk Guide

Embed an interactive demo in a Zendesk Guide article.

Add a Tellane lane to a help-centre article with the source-code editor, and the one Guide setting that has to be on for iframes to display.

Where it goes: A how-to article in your help centre, so readers click through the workflow instead of reading it.

The snippet

One iframe

The share modal generates this for your lane; the example uses a placeholder address.

<iframe src="https://acme.tellane.com/l/pipelines-tour" width="100%" height="640" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Steps

In Zendesk Guide

  1. In Tellane, open the lane → Share → copy the Embed snippet.
  2. In Zendesk Guide, open the article editor and switch to Source code (the </> button).
  3. Paste the snippet where the player should appear and save.
  4. In Guide admin → Settings → Security, make sure Display unsafe content is enabled; Guide strips iframes otherwise.
  5. Publish the article and drive the lane.

If it doesn't work

What breaks, and the fix

  • The iframe vanishes on save. Display unsafe content is off in Guide settings; enable it (admin only) and re-save.
  • A 'Made with Tellane' badge shows on the demo. Free-plan lanes carry the badge; Growth removes it under Settings → Workspace.

FAQ

Questions

Is enabling unsafe content a risk?

It allows iframes and scripts in articles sitewide; restrict article editing to trusted agents.
