Has anyone tried embedding an advanced doantion form on a plain HTML page?

I am SO close and I got it to work once but now the create donation API Call is generating a 401 error.

    I don't believe it is possible, especially if you are hosted by BB. The ADF part provides a token to the client on page load that I believe is used to authenticate with the API end point. I have tried using an iframe and just embed the entire BBIS page on a different page. But that is blocked by some security rules on the BBIS server. So I don't have a way to get that token to a client that is not loading a ADF part directly.

    It is not as flexible as an ADF, but the new Blackbaud Donation Forms are designed to be embedded on a website. We we currently looking into those.

    The other option is to write a custom event handler that mimics the donation endpoint but handles the authentication differently. Then have your form point at it. But doing so means you are responsible for all of the security and functionality. I have done that for a custom membership and event part, but I chose to use the BB security model, so those are also limited to being loaded on a BBIS page.
