Passing field values to lightning component iframe

Is it possible to pass a field value from a record to an iframe hosted inside a lightning component?

I have built an iframe inside a lightning component. The iframe is a link to a database that contains rows of records that are related to the Account object in Salesforce, but only lives in the database, not salesforce.

What I am trying to do is pass the value of a field called account number into the url of the iframe, so that the values presented in the iframe are sorted according to the field value being presented by the current active record in salesforce.

yes, you should be able to unless i'm missing something here. Have you tried it?

I have attempted to do so but can't seem to get the right combination of javascript down. I read somewhere that post.mesage() functions might work but I went this route:
js code:
  
var recordId = account.Page.data.entity.getId();
branchId_c = recordId.replace("{","").replace("}","");
branchId_c = recordId.toLowerCase();
Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("IFRAME_iFrame_Test").setSrc("https://COMPANYADDRESS.com/SDM/SDM.aspx?
view=viewer&categoryId=4&dashboard=WS_CRM_Sample&filters=Company.Company_Name&filterVal
ues="+recordId);
}

Ligntning iframe component looks like:

<aura:component implements="flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,flexipage:availableForRecordHome,force:hasRecordId,force:lightningQuickAction" access="global" >
	<aura:attribute name="iframeUrl" type="String" />
    <aura:attribute name="width" type="String" />
    <aura:attribute name="height" type="String" />
    <aura:attribute name="scrolling" type="String" />
    <aura:attribute name="frameBorder" type="String" />
    <aura:attribute name="style" type="String" />
    <aura:attribute name="sandbox" type="String" />
    
    <iframe src="{!v.iframeUrl}"
            width="{!v.width}"
            height="{!v.height}"
            style="{!v.style}"
            frameBorder="{!v.frameBorder}"
            sandbox="{!v.sandbox}"
            scrolling="{!v.scrolling}"/>
</aura:component>

This is what is showing in the iframe:
User-added image

The Branch, 7G Distributing, has a field called Branch ID. It is a unique 7 digit number. I want to filer the list in the iframe by using that 7 digit number. Of the 47 items displayed in the iframe, only 1 of those records relates to the current Branch/Account in the active salesforce window. So, that is why I'm trying to filter the list by Branch ID each time a Branch is loaded (accessed) in salesforce.

I am calling the url from the component as: https://analytics.pabst.com/SDM/SDM.aspx?ds=MM_Web&view=viewer&categoryId=0&dashboard=SF+Widget+Test&filters=Wholesaler.Branch&filtervalues=4225704"  noborders="0" width="950" height="700" scrolling="no" seamless></iframe>&hideTopBar=true

good news, the value is being passed. something looks a little strange in the url, filter is set to name but you're passing id...hmmm
