5. How to embed the referral interface in-line on a page
With Gather, you can embed your referral campaign, on your site, with our sidebar interface. Now, you can also make the choice to embed your referral interface, in-line, on a page of your site.
To access the code required to integrate your campaign on a page, navigate to the ‘integrate’ section of your Gather account to the following:
The first line of code (in orange above) will embed your campaign on the page, within an i-Frame. See image below for example of the code on our site. For the i-Frame to appear you will need to include a width and height for the <div> in your code.
You can make adjustments to the styling of the <div>, like the one provided (in yellow above). Here we have stipulated the height and width of the <div>, given it a border and included a margin.
Below is a snap shot of the code we have used to embed our example campaign on our page.
When you load up the page on which you have embedded your campaign, a loading spinner will appear whilst Gather loads up on the page.
Remember, if you make any changes on this section you must click on save changes for the changes to be implemented.
