Send web push notifications from Framer
Web push on Framer works through the same InstantPWA snippet you add for install prompts — placed in Custom Code via Site Settings → General → Custom Code → End of <head>. Once a visitor opts in, you can send push notifications from your InstantPWA dashboard to anyone who granted permission, including installed home-screen users on iOS 16.4+.
Steps
- 1
Open Custom Code
Go to Site Settings → General → Custom Code → End of <head>.
- 2
Paste the InstantPWA snippet
Drop the one-line async script tag in the Framer head section — no build step or dependency install.
- 3
Enable push in your dashboard
Turn on Web Push in InstantPWA settings and upload your notification icon and default badge.
- 4
Publish and collect opt-ins
Once live on Framer, the popup asks for notification permission after install (or standalone, if you enable prompt-first push).
- 5
Send a test push
Send a test notification from the dashboard to your own opted-in browser before sending to all subscribers.
Constraints to know
- Any paid Framer site plan supports Custom Code; the free plan can add it in the editor but it won't run on the framer.website preview domain.
- Framer redeploys the whole site on publish, so custom code changes take a few seconds to propagate, not instantly like content edits.
FAQ
Does web push work without the visitor installing the app?+
On Chromium browsers and desktop, yes. On iOS Safari, push requires the visitor to add the site to their home screen first (iOS 16.4+).
Can I segment who receives a push?+
Yes — the InstantPWA dashboard supports targeting by page visited, device type and custom events you send from your site.
Is there anything Framer-specific I need to configure for push?+
No — push registration is handled entirely by the InstantPWA snippet once it's live on Framer; there's no separate push API key to manage.
