How to Install Notix on Your Website

Updated

You can install Notix on your website in two main ways: through the WordPress plugin (a few clicks, no coding) or through API integration (for custom workflows and developers). The right choice depends on your platform — WordPress sites should use the plugin, while custom or non-WordPress sites need the API route. Notix supports both desktop and mobile browsers, and also offers in-app notifications for mobile apps.

Before You Start

Confirm two things:

  • Your platform. If your site runs on WordPress, the plugin is the fastest path. If not, you'll use the API integration.
  • Your goal. Sending your own content, segmenting audiences, or monetizing subscribers — Notix supports all three, but the setup steps below focus on getting the service connected first.

Option 1: Install via the WordPress Plugin

This is the "several clicks" path described by Notix.

  1. Get the plugin. Notix provides a WordPress plugin that installs the service on your site.
  2. Install and activate it in your WordPress admin, the same way you'd add any plugin.
  3. Connect your Notix account so the plugin can talk to the service.
  4. Configure your subscription prompt — you can set delays in seconds and customize the design.
  5. Verify it works. Load your site in a supported browser and confirm the subscription prompt appears as configured.

Expected result: Visitors on desktop and mobile browsers can subscribe, and you can begin sending push notifications from your Notix dashboard.

Option 2: Install via API Integration

Notix offers a SAAS option for developers, with API integration for workflow automation. This is the route for non-WordPress sites or anyone who wants programmatic control.

  1. Set up your Notix account and locate your integration credentials.
  2. Integrate the API into your site so it can register subscribers and receive push events.
  3. Define your subscription prompt behavior — timing and design are configurable here too.
  4. Test delivery on both desktop and mobile browsers before going live.

Expected result: Your site collects subscribers through your own implementation, and you can automate sending through the API.

What You Can Configure After Install

Feature What it does
Flexible subscription prompts Set delays from seconds to custom designs
Audience segmentation Target subscribers by custom parameters
Triggered push Send personalized notifications per individual scenario

Real-time statistics Track metrics with no delays
Parallel testing Run Notix alongside your current provider to compare
Database migration Move subscribers over from your current provider
Push monetization Monetize subscribers on request while still sending your own content

Common Sticking Points

  • Prompt timing feels wrong. The delay is configurable — adjust it rather than accepting the default.
  • You're switching providers. Notix supports database migration from another service, so you don't have to rebuild your subscriber list.
  • You want to compare before committing. The parallel testing option lets you run Notix next to your existing provider.
  • You're not on WordPress. Skip the plugin and go straight to API integration.

Which Path Should You Choose?

  • Choose the WordPress plugin if your site runs on WordPress and you want the fastest setup with no development work.
  • Choose API integration if you're on a custom platform, need workflow automation, or want programmatic control over sending.

Either way, the service works across desktop and mobile browsers, with in-app notifications available as a newer addition for mobile apps.
