# Quick Start

## Requirements

Support for web push notifications requires:

* Your website to be SSL-enabled (https\://)
* One publicly-accessible file to be placed on your site
* A snippet of Integration HTML to be added to each page on your site.
  * This can also be done with a tag manager.

## Steps

{% hint style="info" %}
If your site uses Wordpress you can skip these steps and follow the [<mark style="color:blue;">Wordpress Plugin</mark>](/integration/web-push/wordpress-plugin/wordpress-plugin.md) steps for an easier implementation.
{% endhint %}

### Step 1: Place the Service Worker File

Download the Service Worker from [<mark style="color:blue;">our CDN</mark>](https://cdn.p-n.io/pushly-sdk-worker.js) ([<mark style="color:blue;">https://cdn.p-n.io/pushly-sdk-worker.js</mark>](https://cdn.p-n.io/pushly-sdk-worker.js)) and place it in a publicly accessible location on the same domain that serves your site. For example: `https://www.example.com/assets/pushly/pushly-sdk-worker.js`

{% hint style="danger" %}
This file **must** be served from the same origin the potential subscriber is on when they visit your site. It cannot be served from a separate domain or subdomain.\
\
For example, if your visitor is on `www.example.com` the service worker must be located on `www.example.com.` It cannot be served from `assets.example.com` or `examplecdn.com`.&#x20;

Also note that it **cannot** be served from behind a 301/redirect.
{% endhint %}

### Step 2: Add the Integration HTML

If you placed the Service Worker in a subdirectory on your domain follow the steps in the *Service Worker Placed in Subdirectory* tab otherwise select the *Service Worker Placed in Public Root* tab below.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Service Worker Placed in Subdirectory" %}
Add the following HTML snippet to the head section of your site and replace **both** instances of `SDK_KEY` with the value provided by your account manager.

Also, replace the `/absolute/path/to/pushly-sdk-worker.js` text in the snippet with the full path to the Service Worker.

```javascript
<script src="https://cdn.p-n.io/sdk/web/latest/pushly-sdk.min.js?domain_key=SDK_KEY" async></script>
<script>
  window.PushlySDK = window.PushlySDK || [];
  function pushly() { window.PushlySDK.push(arguments) }
  pushly('load', {
    domainKey: 'SDK_KEY',
    sw: '/absolute/path/to/pushly-sdk-worker.js',
  });
</script>
```

{% hint style="danger" %}
The `sw` property should not include the origin/domain. It should be a path only; I.e., do not include `https:///www.example.com` in this value.
{% endhint %}
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Service Worker Placed in Public Root" %}
Add the following HTML snippet to the head section of your site and replace **both** instances of `SDK_KEY` with the value provided by your account manager.

```javascript
<script src="https://cdn.p-n.io/sdk/web/latest/pushly-sdk.min.js?domain_key=SDK_KEY" async></script>
<script>
  window.PushlySDK = window.PushlySDK || [];
  function pushly() { window.PushlySDK.push(arguments) }
  pushly('load', {
    domainKey: 'SDK_KEY'
  });
</script>
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://documentation.pushly.com/integration/web-push/quick-start.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
