Embedding a forum into your Gamma website

Gamma is an AI-powered presentation and website builder that lets you create stunning sites, decks, and documents through a simple editor. But like most website builders, it doesn't include a built-in community forum or discussion feature.

That's where Website Toolbox comes in. You can embed a fully featured discussion forum directly into your Gamma 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:

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

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

Step-by-Step: Add Your Forum

  1. Visit gamma.app and log in to your account. If you don't have one, click Sign up to create a free account.
  2. From the dashboard, click Create new and choose Site to start a new website, or open an existing Gamma site where you want to add the forum.
  3. Inside your Gamma site, click the + Add page button in the left sidebar to create a new page for your forum. Give it a name like "Forum" or "Community".
  4. You can either embed the forum directly into the page or link to it. Both approaches start the same way. 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.
  5. Option A: Link to the forum: In your Gamma site editor, click inside a card where you want the link, then type /link or simply add a text block with a hyperlink pointing to your forum URL. You can also add the forum link to your site's navigation bar in the site settings.

    Option B: Embed the forum: In your Gamma site editor, click inside a card and type /webpage. A dialog will appear where you can paste your Website Toolbox embed code or forum URL. Gamma will render the embedded forum directly on your page.
  6. Click the Publish button in the top-right corner of Gamma to make your site live. If you haven't already, configure your published URL (you can use a Gamma subdomain like yoursite.gamma.site or connect a custom domain).
  7. 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.
  8. If you chose the embedding approach, go back to the Website Toolbox Integrate Embed Embed Your Forum section and paste your Gamma Forum page URL into the Where is the forum embedded? field.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Gamma have a built-in forum feature?

No, Gamma does not currently have a native forum feature. However, you can easily add a forum to your site using Website Toolbox, either by embedding it directly into a page or by linking to it from your navigation.

Should I embed the forum or link to it?

Both work well. Embedding keeps users on your Gamma site and integrates the forum seamlessly into your page layout. Linking is simpler to set up and opens the forum in its own page, which can be a better experience on mobile devices. Choose whichever fits your workflow.

Can I customize the look of my embedded forum?

Yes. Website Toolbox provides a theme editor with a variety of themes you can choose from to match your Gamma site's design. You can customize colors, fonts, layout settings, and more to create a seamless look.

Can I make the forum private or members-only?

Absolutely. You can restrict forum access to logged-in users, create invite-only communities, or charge for access with subscription plans. Combined with the SSO integration, you can seamlessly connect your Gamma site's user system with the forum.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Gamma uses AI to generate content from plain-language prompts. You just describe what you want, and Gamma builds it. Adding the forum is as simple as pasting a URL or embed code into a card.

Will the forum work on mobile devices?

Yes. Website Toolbox forums are fully responsive and work great on phones, tablets, and desktops. If you embed the forum, the iframe adapts to the container size automatically. Website Toolbox also offers a mobile app so your members can participate from their phones.
