Channels

Channels are the core communication hubs, designed to foster community engagement. Admins are allowed to create customizable spaces where users can interact, share content, and engage with embedded web content seamlessly. Each channel supports powerful features to enhance user experience,
1.
Iframe Embedding: Display any website or iframe content directly within a channel, enabling rich integrations like live dashboards, external tools, or custom applications.
2.
Iframe Listener: Capture user data (e.g., user ID) when someone accesses a channel, enabling analytics or personalized experiences. This is handled via a lightweight JavaScript listener script.
3.
Deeplinking: Ensure smooth transitions within embedded iframes and the community without reloading the entire server.
Channels are highly configurable, empowering admins to tailor them to specific use cases, such as discussion forums, annoucement page, or integrated third-party tools.
