Embedding announcements into your site

Embedding a status announcement on top of your site is a great way of communicating ongoing service degradation to your audience. The announcement is hidden, and appears only when your status page shows a service degradation.

Want to edit the announcement message? Update it in the system status announcement settings.

Adding an embedded announcement to your site:

  • Go to Status pages.
  • Select the status page your want to use for the announcements.
  • Go to Advanced settings.
  • Copy the script and add it to your other <script> tags on your website.
  • Click Save changes.

The announcement is hidden by default, and doesn't slow your site down.
