Using Widgets Outside Notion
A widget is a page at a stable URL, and nothing about it is Notion specific. Anywhere that accepts an iframe embed will render it, which covers Coda docs, WordPress posts and pages, Google Sites, xTiles boards and Craft documents. You build the widget once and paste the same link wherever it belongs, with nothing to configure differently.
How each one takes it
The command has a different name in each tool and the flow is identical. Coda has an embed block. WordPress has an Embed block, and a custom HTML block if you want the iframe directly. Google Sites has Insert then Embed. xTiles and Craft both take a pasted URL and offer to embed it.
What differs between hosts
Height, mostly. Notion lets you drag an embed to any size. Google Sites and some WordPress themes fix the frame, so build the widget to look right at a middling height rather than a tall one and it degrades better everywhere.
The other difference is strictness. Some WordPress security plugins block iframes from domains you have not allowed, which produces a blank frame that looks like a broken widget and is not.
Why this is worth using
One widget across several surfaces means one edit. A team keeping a wiki in Notion and public docs in WordPress can run a single announcement feed on both and post to it once. A creator selling the same template in two ecosystems keeps one set of graphics.
It also survives a platform move. If you leave Notion for Coda or Craft, the widgets come with you. The page around them does not.
Which platforms we list is on the home page, under the section for people not using Notion.
Worth saying that we test against Notion first, because that is where most of the usage is. If a widget behaves oddly on another platform, tell us from the contact page and say which one, since we cannot see it from here.
