How to Embed BoldDesk Knowledge Base into Your Website
Currently, direct embedding of the BoldDesk Knowledge Base (KB) into a website using an iframe is not possible due to security restrictions. However, you can still integrate KB access into your site by using the BoldDesk Widget or Web Form, both of which allow enabling KB functionality.

Navigate to Admin → Channels → Web Widgets & AI Agent.
