After you activate Notifal, a Notifal item appears in the left WordPress menu. This guide walks through each submenu so you always know where to click.
New to Notifal? Start with Installing and Activating Notifal and Your First On-Page Notification.

- OnPage Notifications
- OnPage Analytics
- Templates
- Forms (when the Forms module is enabled)
- Form Submissions (when the Forms module is enabled)
- Settings
- Campaigns
- Addons
- License or Connect & Activate (Pro)

The sections below explain what each one is for.
OnPage Notifications
Path: Notifal → OnPage Notifications
This is your home base for live notifications. Here you can:
- See every notification on your site in one list
- Import ready-made templates from the library (Add New or Explore Pre-created Notifications)
- Generate with AI to create a full notification draft with the hosted Notifal AI wizard
- Turn notifications on or off with the Status switch
- Click a notification title to open the full editor (appearance, timing, display rules, content source, and more)
- Filter by status tabs (All, Published, Draft, Trash)
- Run bulk actions such as duplicate or delete
The notification edit screen exists as a separate page but is hidden from the submenu. You reach it by clicking a notification title in the list.
OnPage Analytics
Path: Notifal → OnPage Analytics
View how your notifications perform:
- Impressions and clicks over time
- Filters by notification, date range, and status
- Performance tables to compare notifications
Basic analytics are available on Free. Enhanced analytics (conversions, devices, geography, and more) require Notifal Pro with an active license. See What Is Notifal? (Free vs Pro).
Templates
Path: Notifal → Templates
Templates are the designs your notifications use. This screen lists all templates saved on your site:
- Templates you imported from the marketplace
- Templates you built with the HTML Builder, Block Editor, or Elementor
- Templates created with Generate with AI in the HTML Builder (Noti chat)
From here you can create new templates, edit existing ones, and manage template status. Notifications link to a template; changing the template updates what visitors see.
Forms
Path: Notifal → Forms
Create and manage Notifal Forms (lead capture forms used inside notification templates):
- Create Form CPTs (one on Free; more with Pro)
- Edit fields, emails, and integrations
- Link a form to template HTML with
data-form-id
Form Submissions
Path: Notifal → Form Submissions
Inbox for visitor submissions:
- Filter by form, date, and search
- Open detail, mark as read, add notes
- Export CSV
See Form Submissions and Settings.
Settings
Path: Notifal → Settings
Global Notifal options that apply across the plugin. Common areas include:
- Tags: turn tag categories on or off (User, Post, Page, Product, Order, Cart, and more)
- Forms (when enabled): captcha, spam protection, rate limits, default admin email
If you use WooCommerce, read WooCommerce Setup for Notifal for which tag toggles to enable.
Campaigns
Path: Notifal → Campaigns
Campaigns let you group and schedule notifications for coordinated marketing:
- Create a campaign with a name and schedule
- Link one or more notifications to the campaign
- Control campaign status (active or paused)
Use campaigns when you want time-boxed promotions or several notifications working together under one plan. The campaign edit screen is hidden from the submenu and opens when you edit a campaign from the list.
Read What Are Campaigns? and Creating a Campaign to get started.
Addons
Path: Notifal → Addons
Turn built-in modules on or off:
- Forms (available): enable or disable the Forms module (same kill switch as Settings → Forms)
- Gamification and Push Notification: shown as coming soon
When Forms is off, the Forms and Form Submissions menus, the Form widget, and form submit AJAX do not load.
See Form Submissions and Settings.
License (Notifal Pro)
Path: Notifal → License
Visible when Notifal Pro is installed. This screen shows:
- Whether your license is active
- Days remaining and expiry date
- Reconnect License, Deactivate, and Check for Updates
- A link to your account on notifal.com
If Pro is installed but not yet connected, you may see Connect & Activate instead. That button starts the activation flow described in Installing and Activating Notifal.
Upgrade for Free!
Path: Notifal → Upgrade for Free!
This item appears only when Notifal Pro is not installed. Clicking it opens the Notifal website where you can learn about Pro and get a license.
Once you install and activate Pro, this menu item is replaced by License or Connect & Activate.
Free Configuration
Path: Notifal → Free Configuration
This link opens a setup guide on notifal.com (outside WordPress). It is aimed at getting your first free notification configured quickly. It always appears as the last item in the Notifal submenu.
