How to add QMetry Custom Dashboard Embedded URL in Confluence?

The user who has created a custom dashboard can generate an embedded URL and share the link. The embedded URL gives access over live report data in read-only mode to the users who do not have direct access to QMetry application (i.e. Ability to view custom dashboard without any authentication). This link can be used to share the dashboard with other users or for integration with third-party integrations.
