AppSheet Integration

How Google Sites and Google AppSheet Works Together

On March 12, 2025, Google announced that you can now embed authenticated AppSheet applications directly into Google Sites as an iframe. There is already a support article available on the fine details of security settings, licenses and instructions for integration.

First of all, as highlighted in those instructions, adjust your security settings to allow app embedding (Allow the app to be rendered in an iframe). The embed options in Google Sites are a in-page widget embed or a full page embed. Let's discuss the advantages and disadvantages here.

Insert <embed> for whole page by URL

After you click insert for an embed you have options for embedding a URL or embedding code. You can use your app share link for browser to embed by URL into Google Sites. The problem with this approach is that you may encounter viewport errors for the sizing of your app. 

The error is: Entire app must be in view. Can't interact with the app when partially visible. To interact with this app, scroll the page to view entire app on screen, resize the app to fit your screen, or open in a new tab.

There needs to be an improved approach to responsiveness for these apps.

Create full page embed and add URL

This approach will probably let you avoid any sizing or viewing issues. However, it seems like sometimes apps just don't load in. Review your app's security, authentication and admin settings to confirm visibility.

Exciting News: A better-than-ever AppSheet and Google Sites integration is here!

We're excited to announce that you can now embed authenticated AppSheet applications as iframes directly within Google Sites pages. While previously only public apps could be added to Sites, with this change, apps that require sign-in can now be embedded. This allows users to interact with the app directly on a Google Sites page - all while still ensuring the same enterprise-grade access control you’re used to.

Key Benefits

If you review the templates for AppSheet you'll get an idea of what no code apps you can quickly add to Google Sites. There's samples for onboarding, tasks, project management, directories, workflows and all sorts of resource management ideas.

• Streamlined user experience: Eliminate the need for users to navigate between multiple tabs. Users can now interact with authenticated AppSheet apps directly within Google Sites pages, boosting productivity and efficiency.

• Centralized workflows: Build powerful, interactive business applications like intranet portals and wikis by embedding key tools and information directly into Google Sites.

• Controlled by policy: Leverage AppSheet’s existing in-app authentication and policy rules, ensuring consistent behavior and secure access to your applications. Creators have the control to disable embedding functionality in their apps.

How to get started?
