How to add Notification Popup to a Magnolia CMS website

Embed Notification Popup on Magnolia CMS

01

Create a Notification Popup widget for Magnolia CMS on Common Ninja

First, create a Magnolia CMS Notification Popup widget on Common Ninja. On the widgets catalog, find the Notification Popup and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Notification Popup widget

When you're done creating the Notification Popup widget, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Notification Popup Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Notification Popup widget to your Magnolia CMS website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the widget embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your Magnolia CMS website.

04

Paste the code to your Magnolia CMS website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Magnolia CMS website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Magnolia CMS’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Notification Popup Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Notification Popup widget on your Magnolia CMS website.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Notification Popup widget on your Magnolia CMS widget. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Magnolia CMS website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Notification Popup widget to your Magnolia CMS website. You can do this by putting it straight into your Magnolia CMS website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Notification Popup widget when you need to deliver an important message that cannot risk being missed. Unlike bars that users might scroll past, a popup creates a focused moment for updates, alerts, policy changes, or key offers. This is ideal for product announcements, system status notices, onboarding tips, and limited campaigns. You can control when it appears, such as on entry, after a delay, or based on behavior, so it fits your funnel. With concise copy and a simple close or action button, notification popups improve clarity without overwhelming visitors. They help reduce confusion, guide users to the right next step, and make your communication feel direct and intentional.
