Embed AppSheet apps directly in Google Sites
What's changing
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, now, apps that require sign-in can be embedded so that users can securely interact with the app directly on a Google Sites page.
Key Benefits
- 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 and secure access to your applications. Creators have control to disable embedding functionality in their apps.

Overall, support for iframe embeds of authenticated apps in Sites enables secure, seamless integration of your enterprise-grade AppSheet applications and empowers you to create more robust and user-friendly Google Sites.
Additional details
- Embedding authenticated (e.g. "sign-in required” or “restricted”) apps is only supported for Google Sites pages. “Public apps” continue to be embeddable in any website.
- Use a Chromium-based browser with third-party cookies enabled. Incognito mode and blocking cookies will prevent apps from functioning properly.
- We recommend ensuring the embedded AppSheet app (iframe) is fully visible. Partial visibility or excessive zoom may cause interaction issues.
Getting started
- End users: To get started, visit the AppSheet Help Center for more information on running a app in an iFrame on a website.
Rollout pace
- Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Available now.
