Beehiiv is a newsletter platform that includes a built-in Website Builder for creating and publishing web pages alongside your newsletter. While Beehiiv provides tools for content, subscriptions, and monetization, it does not include a native community forum or discussion feature.

That's where Website Toolbox comes in. You can embed a fully featured discussion forum directly into your Beehiiv site, or simply link to your forum from your site's navigation. Either way, you get user accounts, moderation tools, and real-time conversations.

This works really well for:

• Newsletter subscriber communities
• Creator and hobby communities
• Online course discussions
• Customer support forums
• Feedback and feature request boards
• Private member groups
• Coaching and membership sites
• SaaS product communities

This step-by-step guide walks you through the process:

Step-by-Step: Add Your Forum

1. Visit beehiiv.com and log in to your account. If you don't have one, click Get started to create a free account.
2. From the left panel, go to Website > Builder. The Website Builder will open with your site on the canvas.
3. You'll need your Website Toolbox forum URL or embed code:
   1. Log in to your Website Toolbox account or create a new forum if you don't already have one.
   2. Copy your forum URL. You'll need this for the linking approach.
   3. For the embedding approach, go to Integrate Embed → Embed your forum , and copy the embed code.
4. Option A: Link to the forum: In the Beehiiv Website Builder, open the Pages menu from the left icons panel. Click + Add page under Custom pages. Choose a template or start from scratch. Set the page title to "Forum" and configure the URL. Once the page is created, add a button or text link pointing to your forum URL.
   
   Option B: Embed the forum: Open the Pages menu from the left icons panel. Click + Add page under Custom pages. Choose a template or start from scratch. Set the page title to "Forum" and configure the URL. Once the page is created, click the + icon in the left panel to open the Elements modal. Under Advanced blocks, select HTML and drag it onto the canvas. With the HTML block selected, click Configure in the right design panel to open the code editor. Click into the Code tab and paste your Website Toolbox embed code. Return to the Preview tab to test how it renders, then click Save.
5. Click the Publish button in the top-right corner of the Website Builder to deploy your site.
6. If you chose the embedding approach, copy the URL of your published Forum page. You can find it in your site's navigation or by visiting the published URL and navigating to the Forum page.
7. If you chose the embedding approach, go back to the Website Toolbox Integrate → Embed → Embed Your Forum section and paste your Beehiiv Forum page URL into the Where is the forum embedded? field.
