Loop Inbox Integration

Overview

The Loop Manager Inbox can be embedded via iFrame within a partner or customer application or web experience.

Sample Code

Reference the following iFrame HTML element in an HTML5-ready page to embed the Loop inbox:

<iframe src="https://<account>.blazeloop.com/login"></iframe>

Notes on User Lifecycle:

Temporary user accounts on Loop must be created for pre-authenticated users during or before loading of the Loop interface. User permissions would be inherited from a default profile. User visibility (controls what locations or items that user will see) would be passed at the time of creation.

Mechanism: Benbria’s RESTful WS API v1 for user creation before loading the Loop interface, or alternatively using a CSV upload of user records.

Detailed Code Sample

The following code sample dynamically resizes the Loop view to a 16:9 ratio and fits to a padded window, for example:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang="en">

<head>

<meta charset="utf-8">

<style>

body {background-color: #dbdbdb;}

.s_iframe {position:relative;}

.s_iframe .ratio {display:block;width:90%;height:auto;}

.s_iframe iframe {position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%; height:100%;}

</style>

</head>

<body>

<h1>Loop® Manager Inbox:</h1>

<div class="s_iframe">

<img class="ratio" src="http://placehold.it/16x9"/>

<iframe src="https://<account>.blazeloop.net/login" name="Loop Inbox"></iframe>

</div>

</body>

</html>

Future

To support a seamless experience for the user, Loop is evaluating SAML 2.0 first and OAuth as a second choice for authentication hand-off from external platforms to Loop.
