You might’ve seen the news or discovered the feature in Shishir & Matt’s Eigenquestions Doc, but I’m here to confirm that it’s true: Thanks to updates to our integration with Miro, you can draw in Coda!
Previously, we were only able to support embedding public Miro files. With this update:
Private Files are also supported
Embeds are live ー you can draw or modify on the board, and the board will sync back to Miro
You can easily access these integrations by typing /miro anywhere on a page
Now you can seamlessly marry your visual ideation and whiteboarding with your tracking and documentation in a single doc.
Hi Stefan! For now, the integration supports embedding boards, so there’s not a full integration & sync (e.g., between your boards in Miro and tables in Coda).
You will need to authenticate into Miro to access embedded Miro boards in Coda docs, so a user will need a Miro account.
Ah, sorry about that; we could’ve been a bit clearer here. Thanks for pointing that out! I’ve updated my original response to clarify. Including some more details here:
In Coda, you can draw on an embedded Miro board (after authenticating), and the edits will be visible in your doc, as well as on your board at miro.com. Similarly, if the embedded board is edited on miro.com, the updates will sync to the embed in your doc. In other words, your doc acts as an iFrame for the Miro board.
What we haven’t yet built is a two-way integration that would translate drawings in Miro to tables in Coda, or rows in Coda to sticky notes in Miro, etc.
For now, what happens in the Miro board, stays in the Miro board (but can be viewed, modified, etc. as an embed in your doc).
Hi!
Tell me why when I copy the link in the Miro of a specific frame board, and embed link it into the Coda doc It doesn’t display exactly that frame, but shows only the first frame.
FYI exactly the same problem in Notion
P.S. I also noticed that when you click on this button link, there is no transition to Miro. In Notion no such problem.
This is a great update! Any chance you’ll create integrations with other tools similar to Miro? We use Whimsical. We’d love to embed our private boards and draw directly within Coda as well.
Miro may’ve updated their authentication flow from last year. When I type /miro in a doc, it opens up a window to choose which board I’d like to embed. Note that I am logged-in to Miro with the same account as I am logged-in to Coda in this GIF: Screen Capture on 2021-12-14 at 11-34-41.gif - Droplr
As an alternative, you should be able to take the URL of the board (no need to generate an embed – just copy the exact URL from your browser tab with Miro open), and then paste that URL into Coda and select ‘embed.’ Note that you may still need to authenticate into Miro in Coda to see and manage board contents.
i am logged into coda and miro with the same google account
i have set the board to public
i copied the url into the embed formula in coda
and it still dont work!
im using a free miro account as i dont want to pay for it unless i can integrate it with my coda docs, and i want 2-way integration - the ability to draw on the canvas within the coda document
further suggestions?
i tested the integration with the miro link in Sishir’s ‘Eigenquestions: The Art of Framing Problems’ and that does work.
It works 2 ways as in: I can edit my miro drawing in a Miro or in a Coda environment and the changes I make at either place are saved in my drawing. I have a free Miro account and I am using the same google login for both programs.
thank you so much for your assistance
but i am still stuck
when i try to SHARE the miro board via the EMBED option, i go through the steps (setting the initial view and selecting Presentation mode or not) and then i get the embed link WHICH IS AN IFRAME TAG (this is following the help instructions on miro that @chris pointed me to)
the URL within that tag is not in the format @joost_mineur showed me, ie no ‘app/access-link/…’ and if i copy and paste that URL into my embed in coda is dont work
so i must be missing something - even after all this help - sorry about that
