Embedding Sequel Events in Contentful

Last updated: October 19, 2026

Learn how to embed Sequel on your Contentful pages

You can embed Sequel event streams directly into your Contentful-powered website by using Contentful’s models and sections. This lets visitors watch your live or on-demand events without leaving your site.

Step 1: Understand the Contentful Models

Your Contentful setup includes the following models for building event pages:

  • Webpage (webPage)

    • slug: Unique identifier for the page (e.g., example-stage-1).

    • content: References the layout and sections that make up the page.

  • Layout Sections (layoutSections)

    • sections: A one-to-many reference field where you can add different content types, such as embeds or event guides.

  • Embed (embed)

    • Used for adding third-party content like Sequel.

    • This is where you’ll paste your Sequel iframe.

Step 2: Use the Sequel Embed Template

Here’s the iframe code you’ll need:

  • Replace {EVENT_ID_HERE} with your event’s Sequel Event ID (available in your Sequel dashboard).

  • Keep the recommended styling for responsiveness, or adjust to fit your design.

Step 3: Add the Embed in Contentful

  1. Log in to your Contentful dashboard.

  2. Open the Webpage entry for your event (e.g., example-stage-1).

  3. Under content, select the related Layout Section.

  4. Add a new Embed entry.

  5. Paste the Sequel iframe code from Step 2 into the embed body.

  6. Save and Publish.

Your Sequel event will now render inside that page section.

Step 4: Persist URL Parameters (IMPORTANT)

If you want tracking parameters (like ?ref=campaign) to carry over into the Sequel iframe, you can enable URL parameter persistence with JavaScript in your frontend (e.g., a SvelteKit app):

This ensures tracking and session information stays consistent across your event page.

Best Practices

  • Test the embed in a preview environment before publishing.

  • Use width: 100% for full responsiveness.

  • Combine Sequel embeds with event guides or supporting content in your layoutSections for richer experiences.

✅ That’s it! Your Sequel event is now live inside your Contentful page. Visitors can join directly without leaving your site.
