# Embed status page notifications on your website

Embed live status notifications directly on your website so visitors see updates without visiting your status page.

The embed feature displays live status notifications directly on your website. Visitors see updates without having to visit your status page separately.

## When notifications appear

After page load completes, the notification appears within 5 seconds. By default, it shows in the bottom-right corner. You can configure the position in your widget settings.

{% hint style="info" %}
Notifications support planned maintenance events and are shown once per visitor.
{% endhint %}

## Set up

Visit the **Widgets** section from the sidebar. Copy the code snippet and paste it before the closing `</body>` tag on every page where you want the notification to appear.

When creating or editing a planned maintenance event, enable **Show a banner to status page visitors**.

## Security

Add your domains to the allowlist so the widget loads correctly. Use `*.example.com` to allow all subdomains. For local testing, add your testing domain (such as an [ngrok](https://ngrok.com) URL) to the allowlist temporarily.
