How Third-Party Apps Are Integrated in Duda

Preferred Third-Party Widgets

Effective Date: February 9, 2026   Last Updated: February 9, 2026

Hibu Policy

Hibu One Smart Sites are built on the Duda platform and support third-party applications only when they can be implemented using client-side code. Third-party apps must be embedded using HTML, CSS, and/or JavaScript and run entirely within the browser. Server-side integrations, plugins, or backend code execution are not supported.

This definition explains the technical capabilities available for integrating third-party applications within Duda. For recommended tools, refer to Preferred Third-Party Widgets. For rules, limitations, and unsupported use cases, refer to Third-Party HTML Widgets.

Definition

Third-party app integration in Duda refers to the ability to embed externally hosted tools into a Hibu One Smart Site using client-side code, such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or iframe snippets, without modifying the platform’s backend.

Supported Integration Methods

  • Embed Code via HTML Widgets
  • Most third-party apps are added by pasting an embed snippet into an HTML widget or page section. These snippets are typically provided by the third-party service and may include:
  • HTML markup
  • JavaScript (inline or externally hosted)
  • iframe-based embeds
  • Inline or linked CSS included as part of the snippet
  • These embeds render client-side and do not require backend access.

  • Custom Code Areas (Header / Body)
  • Duda allows custom code to be added site-wide or on individual pages through designated Header HTML or Body End HTML areas. These locations are commonly used for:
  • Global JavaScript libraries or tracking scripts
  • Site-wide widgets or embeds
  • Inline or external CSS rules
  • Code added in these areas executes in the browser across applicable pages.

Supported Code Types

Key Principle: Any code that runs in the browser can be embedded. Code that requires server-side execution is not supported.
