You can embed web pages or external domains into your dashboards and reports. Here is an example of an embedded Hubspot main page:

If your website does not show up, you can ask your administrator to change the website's Content Security Policy that affects iFrame embedding. Fortunately, majority of websites, including leading brands, allow embedding. Here is an example of Lamborghini page displayed inside an Octoboard dashboard:
Lamborghini is an Italian brand that builds luxury sport cars. Octoboard is a SaaS product development company that helps businesses use cloud data, automate reporting and builds online dashboards. Octoboard is not affiliated with the Lamborghini brand. Embedded website image contains copyrighted material that belongs to Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A.
