Closing UI Extension IFrames

Developer Support APIs & Integrations
1

Currently UI Extensions beta allows opening an iframe modal: Accounts Dashboard | HubSpot

However, it doesn’t allow for programmatically closing an iFrame. This means that if you expose a workflow through your own website, the user can’t click a button that has side effects AND on success closes the parent iframe. This is a giant usability issue for me.
Can the iframe implementation specify a listener, or some property so that the enclosing code can programmatically close the window without requiring the user to manually click “X”?

Hey, @AHammouda :waving_hand: You are correct that the documentation doesn’t prove a mechanism to do what you are requesting. If you have a moment, submitting your feedback to the Developer Feedback form is always appreciated. It is not a support for and does not issue direct responses, but it is seen by the product teams, especially for ongoing betas for developer tools.

Best,

Jaycee
