What are social media and review widgets for Drupal?
Social media widgets for Drupal let you showcase live content from Google, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and other networks directly on your website. Instead of copying reviews by hand or uploading static screenshots, a Drupal review widget connects to your social and review sources, pulls in content automatically, and refreshes it as new posts and reviews go live.
For Drupal websites, that can mean displaying real Google reviews on landing pages, publishing an Instagram feed that adds visual proof to key conversion pages, embedding TikTok videos that show products in action, and adding shoppable UGC widgets that send visitors straight from social content to your product or offer pages. Everything runs through a single embed code that fits neatly into your Drupal setup.
Why use EmbedSocial on Drupal?
Drupal gives teams a flexible way to build content-rich websites, and EmbedSocial fits naturally into that setup through a simple JavaScript embed. You can place widgets inside Drupal blocks, page content, landing pages, and product-related sections without installing a separate tool for every content type.
EmbedSocial is a UGC and review management platform built for brands that want to turn social proof into something useful, not decorative. It combines AI-powered widget styling, automatic syncing, and moderation workflows so your Drupal site always shows fresh, relevant content where trust matters most.
One account lets you manage multiple widget types from one place: Google reviews, Instagram feeds, TikTok videos, YouTube content, Facebook posts, testimonials, social proof notifications, and shoppable galleries. That means less plugin clutter, fewer manual updates, and a cleaner workflow for your team.
If you want to turn customer content into a buying path, EmbedSocial’s shoppable widgets let you tag products directly inside UGC so visitors can move from inspiration to purchase without friction.
Reviews sync automatically every 10 minutes, social feeds refresh continuously, and newly published content can appear on your Drupal site within minutes.
You can start with one of 200+ templates or use the AI vibe editor to describe the design you want and generate it instantly. The result matches your Drupal theme without forcing you into custom CSS from day one.

How to add social media widgets to Drupal
Follow these steps to embed any EmbedSocial widget on your Drupal website:
Step 1: Create your EmbedSocial account
Sign up for a free EmbedSocial account at embedsocial.com. No credit card required. Choose one of 200+ widget templates or use the AI vibe editor to generate the layout you want.
Step 2: Connect your sources
Go to the Sources tab and connect the platforms you want to pull content from — Google Business Profile for reviews, Instagram for posts and stories, TikTok for videos, YouTube for playlists, or Facebook for posts and reviews. Once connected, each source syncs automatically.
Step 3: Customize your widget
Pick your layout, such as slider, grid, carousel, wall of love, or masonry. Apply filters by rating, keyword, or content type. Adjust colours, fonts, and spacing so the widget blends into your Drupal design. Use the AI editor if you want the styling done faster.
Step 4: Copy your embed code
Open the Embed tab inside the widget editor and copy the JavaScript snippet for your widget.
Step 5: Add the widget to your Drupal site
In Drupal, add the widget code to a Custom Block and place that block in the region where you want it to appear, or paste it into a content area that allows HTML embed code. Drupal’s block system is the standard way to place reusable content in theme regions, and HTML output depends on the text format and filters allowed for that field.
If your embed code does not render correctly, check that the content is using a text format that permits the required HTML or script output, since Drupal filters can restrict what markup is displayed.
You can place widgets on homepage sections, landing pages, blog posts, sidebars, footer regions, and, if you use Drupal Commerce, product-related pages as well. Once saved and placed, your live social content appears on the site immediately.
Note: The free plan supports a Google Maps source with a badge and currently shows 5 random Google reviews. For full review imports, shoppable widgets, and advanced controls, use a paid plan after the free trial. For shoppable UGC, check the shoppable widget page.

The widget appears immediately.
