Hi! To create a Thunkable web-app in modules I would like to know if it is possible use Web Viewer block to embed a web-app Thunkable inside other Thunkable app, and use the existing blocks to communicate between these apps.

I did an experiment, but it didn’t work out yet.

 ![Thunkable_Embeed_App](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/0/a0c6bc34f259e5eb506285da004f01d9e658e1ca.jpeg)

“Master” app

Embedded app

In the embedded app, I searched but did not find a event “Any Screen ” and a function “in Screen call message ”. I try a “workaround” using the an “nonexistent” component Webviewer to send and receive messages to/from the de “master app”. Didn´t work.

I also thought about not using the Webview component, and making a redirect from one web-app (master app) to another (module app) passing parameters. But I don’t know how I could pass parameters during the redirection. Can a Thunkable web-app identify any device IDs? If this is possible, I can use Firebase to communicate between the two apps.

Is there a way to do whats i am trying?

I really appreciate if I can receive help. Thanks!!!

Hi @caminostudio,

As of now, Thunkable Web Apps cannot be embedded.

Hope this helps, Eoin.

@caminostudio

Could you just use this approach instead and skip the app-inside-an-app approach altogether?

@eoinparkinson @domhnallohanlon Thanks for the answers. I am trying to build all apps / webpages with Thunkable. 🙂 The educational games I am prototyping has different and simple formats / templates. I was trying to put it in a single app (web-app). So I am trying to create the system with a structure in modules (multi apps). All this using Thunlable only. This approach may not be possible. I will try to change.

Thanks my friends!

Hello  
I was wondering if you know if there are any plans to make it so that Web Apps can be embedded?

@carlinmclellan  
Thunkable now offers to run web apps inside an `iframe` element which can be run from any site that you can edit the html form and embed the `web app` in. See the refrence.

Thanks @muneer for your help.  
I was able to embed the app on my site using ifram however the layout is as a ‘mobile webapp’.  
I want it to be a Responsive Webapp. Do you know if that’s possible?

The `iframe` option only supports the mobile view at the moment.

Hi @carlinmclellan! I hope that soon Thunakble will allow the embedded responsive web apps. Check out a chat on this topic on Thunkable’s Github with WeiHua Li (Thunkable CTO): [https://github.com/thunkable/thunkable-issues/issues/486](https://github.com/thunkable/thunkable-issues/issues/486). Ask for this on Github too!
