Embeddable Elements

Embedded elements are ready-made UI components that are 100% customizable, and can be quickly inserted into your HTML for displaying campaign and participant information inline on your webpage.

What are embeddable elements?
Embeddable elements are individual components that make up the contents of the GrowSurf window. They inherit the same styles and dynamic behavior that you see in the GrowSurf window -- but embeddable elements can be 100% customized using HTML data attributes.
You can configure each component's styles by changing your campaign's Theme (in the Design step of the Campaign Editor), or you can use data attributes to override and completely customize styles.
Just like the GrowSurf window, embeddable elements have two UI states that display differently to New Visitors ("no auth" state) and to Participants ("auth" state)
Important Note: You must have the GrowSurf Universal Code installed within the same webpage that you are using embeddable elements on.
Important Note: If you see the "no auth" state when you are expecting to see the "auth" state, it is most likely because you have participant authentication enabled for your campaign and there is no cookie saved on the participant's browser. Please see this article for more details.
(Optional) Forcefully re-rendering embeddable elements
Although embedded elements listen for changes in data attributes and update dynamically, if you run into issues where the embedded elements do not render/refresh, you can force re-rendering. This may be useful if you are working with dynamic data (such as as setting data-grsf-email to the user's email in the Embedded Form). 
To force re-rendering, call growsurf.initElements(), which destroys all embeddable elements in the DOM and forces GrowSurf to re-render them.
growsurf.initElements();
Embedded Form
The embedded form is an element that has two different UI states.
For new visitors, the signup form is shown (this is the "no auth" state).
For participants, their unique referral link with share buttons are displayed (this is the "auth" state).
