What is Hoop's Content Embed feature and who should use it?
The Content Embed feature allows users to create personalized, reusable content fragments directly within the Hoop platform. These fragments can then be seamlessly published and displayed on any third-party website, documentation site, or portal using a lightweight embed code.
This feature is ideal for marketing teams and content managers who need to maintain consistent messaging across a distributed set of web properties. It ensures that updates to critical snippets—like product features, CTAs, or legal disclaimers—are instantly propagated everywhere the fragment is embedded, centralizing content control and accuracy.
How does Content Embed ensure instant updates across all my sites?
The Content Embed feature works by generating a lightweight snippet—either a standard script or an iframe option—that you place on your external sites. This code pulls the content dynamically from Hoop's central content management system.
When you update a content fragment within Hoop, the changes are processed and immediately reflected across all external sites where the fragment is embedded. This real-time synchronization eliminates the risk of outdated or inconsistent information appearing on partner sites, documentation, or marketing landing pages. Key benefits include:
- Automatic content synchronization.
- Centralized management of distributed content.
- Support for text, images, and CTAs within blocks.
What are the pricing plans for the Content Embed feature in Hoop?
The Content Embed feature is available across multiple Hoop platform pricing tiers to suit different organizational needs and usage volumes. The specific plans mentioned are core, pro, and enterprise.
Typically, the core plan provides essential embedding capabilities and basic usage limits, suitable for smaller operations or teams just starting with distributed content. The pro plan expands these limits and includes advanced capabilities like localization-ready variants and version history. The enterprise plan offers the highest scale, custom service level agreements, and comprehensive governance tools to support large organizations with extensive embedding needs.
How quickly can I set up and deploy content fragments using Hoop?
Setup is straightforward and designed for rapid time to value. Once the content fragment is created and published in Hoop, the system generates the unique embed code instantly. You simply copy this lightweight code and paste it into the HTML of your target external site, documentation, or CMS.
For most users, deployment of a new content fragment can take less than ten minutes. The feature is designed to integrate smoothly across CMSs and site builders, using standard web technologies like script or iframe options for maximum compatibility. The ability to manage version history means you can deploy with confidence and easily roll back if necessary.
Does the Content Embed support personalized content targeting?
Yes, personalization and targeting are core capabilities of the Content Embed feature in Hoop. This allows you to show different content fragments to specific audiences, significantly enhancing the relevance of your messaging on third-party sites. You gain granular control over what content is displayed and to whom.
The targeting capabilities are robust and include various display rules:
- Display rules based on audience segmentation defined in Hoop.
- Targeting based on the referring source or website.

This functionality ensures a hyper-personalized marketing experience without requiring complex integration code on the external site.
What security and governance controls are included with Content Embed?
Hoop provides essential security and governance tools to ensure that your centrally managed content is protected and changes are traceable. These controls are crucial for maintaining brand consistency and regulatory compliance across all embedded instances.
Users benefit from a robust audit and governance suite that includes:
- Comprehensive usage inventory to see exactly where content blocks are deployed.
