Enable Iframe Navigation Messages in Talent Platform

If your organization embeds Talent Platform within another application using an iframe, you can enable navigation message notifications to keep both interfaces synchronized. This ensures that when candidates navigate within the embedded Talent Platform, your parent application's menus and navigation elements update automatically to reflect those movements.

Common reasons you might enable this feature

  • Your candidates are seeing inconsistent or outdated navigation states between your external application and the embedded Talent Platform.
  • You want your parent application's menu to stay in sync when candidates move between pages in Talent Platform.
  • You are building or maintaining a custom integration that embeds Talent Platform in an iframe.
  • You need better tracking and coordination of candidate journeys across your integrated systems.
  • You want to provide a seamless, cohesive experience for candidates navigating between your application and Talent Platform.

Enable iframe navigation messages

Enabling this feature allows Talent Platform to send page navigation events to the parent embedding application. This keeps external menus and navigation elements aligned with candidate activity inside the embedded platform.

  1. Go to Configuration > Settings > System Settings > General Settings.

  2. Toggle on Enable Navigation Messages for Embedded Applications.

  3. In the Enter Authorized Domain (Target Origin) field, enter your embedding application's domain URL. This ensures only your application receives navigation messages.

  4. Verify the integration is working by testing navigation within the embedded Talent Platform and confirming your parent application responds to page changes.

Troubleshooting

If your parent application is not responding to navigation changes

Check that the correct domain is entered in the Enter Authorized Domain (Target Origin) field. A mismatched or missing domain prevents Talent Platform from sending navigation events to your parent application.

If navigation syncs intermittently

Verify that your parent application is correctly listening for navigation message events from the iframe. Confirm there are no browser security policies or content security settings blocking cross-origin iframe communication.

If the feature toggle is not visible in General Settings

Confirm that you have administrator-level access to Talent Platform. If the setting still does not appear, contact Bullhorn Support for assistance.

FAQs

Who can enable iframe navigation messages?

Administrators with access to Talent Platform's General Settings can enable and configure this feature.

Does this feature affect candidates who access Talent Platform directly (not through an iframe)?

No. Navigation messages are only sent when Talent Platform is embedded in an iframe. Direct access to Talent Platform is not affected.

What happens if I enable the feature but do not configure a domain?

Talent Platform may not send navigation events to your parent application, or the events may be blocked by browser security policies. Always configure the correct embedding application domain after enabling the feature.

Do I need to make changes to my parent application to use this feature?

Yes. Your parent application must be set up to listen for and respond to navigation message events sent from the Talent Platform iframe.
