Having Trouble with Web Embed Feature

Hi, I'm trying to share a sheet with people in my company that do not have Qlik Sense licenses, but I am consistently getting an error whenever I use the 'Embed Sheet' feature in Qlik's sheet editor. I have tried embedding my sheet on a Confluence page and on Google Sites, but I get the same error on both websites. It says that my sheet "refused to connect", and the sheet does not display. I have attached images that show the steps I'm taking and my issue in greater detail.

Am I doing something wrong on my end? Is there something else I need to do before I can successfully connect my sheet to an external page?

Even if you succeed with the embedding, I believe your main issue is that you want to "share a sheet with people in my company that do not have Qlik Sense licenses". For the embedded sheet/object to be displayed, the user needs to authenticate with your Qlik Sense service, and for that a license of some kind will be needed for the user.

Maybe you could consider automating image export of objects, embedding those static images on web pages that people without a qlik license could see. Those users can naturally not make selections since the images are static. (I'm guessing it is possible to achieve this through API, but I haven't tried.)

Another option is to consider purchasing licenses. There are various types of licenses, not all of them are assigned to individuals. You could for example have a license with a certain amount of minutes per month that all users not having a dedicated license share amongst each other.

@henrikalmen  Is there any way to export to an image directly from Qlik (Automations)? Trying to figure out somewhat the same as @FlamingoCalves

I don't know, never used Qlik Application Automation. I'm thinking that it's probably possible to export images of objects through Qlik Sense API but I haven't actually tried. (I'll update my answer above, specifying that I actually don't know if it's possible.)
