Hello,

I want to use [oembed function](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/cms/building-blocks/module-theme-fields/oembed) to import metadata from a newspaper article URL to use in an email (title, image, href).

I want to use [https://iframely.com/](https://iframely.com/) to generate the oembed json. But this is not working with oembed function.

There is a similar function to oembed but to import a external json data?

I need to use inside email template and I can’t use javascript.

Thanks!

Hi @MarcC,

Do you have HubDB? If so, you could create a Table, use the [HubDB API](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/cms/hubdb#endpoint?spec=POST-/cms/v3/hubdb/tables/%7BtableIdOrName%7D/draft/import) to get the content into HubSpot and output it with a custom module in your email.

If you don’t have it you could overengineer a blog function for this. So basicly create a non-listed blog, put your informations into it (also possible with [API](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/cms/blog-post)) and output it with a custom blog post module into your mails

A third option could be to create custom [CRM objects](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/cms/data/crm-objects).

hope that helps,

best,

Anton
