# Add subscribers to your status page

> Turn on subscriptions, subscribe a test address, and check the confirm and unsubscribe flow.

Public status pages collect subscribers through a **Subscribe to updates**
button in the page header. Visitors can subscribe by email, or connect a
Slack channel, a Microsoft Teams channel, or a signed webhook. Email
subscriptions go through double opt-in (the visitor must click the link in a
confirmation email); Slack, Teams, and webhook subscriptions are confirmed by
accepting a test message. Every message includes a link to manage or end the
subscription.

This quickstart walks through email. See
[Subscribe to a status page](https://docs.use.observer/docs/guides/status-page-subscriptions.md) for the
other channels and every option.

## Steps

**1. Enable subscriptions on the page**

Open the page in the page editor. In the **Access** section, make sure the
**Subscriptions** switch is on. It is on by default and controls every
channel, not only email.

**2. Find the subscribe button**

The subscribe button is not a separate layout section: it appears in the
public page's header whenever subscriptions are on and your organization is
below its subscriber limit.

**3. Subscribe a test address**

On the published page, click **Subscribe to updates**, keep **Email**
selected, and submit an address you control. Check the inbox for the
confirmation email and click its link. The subscription is now confirmed,
and future published incidents and maintenance windows notify this address.
If the email does not arrive, submit the address again to re-send it.

**4. Check unsubscribe**

Click the unsubscribe link in any notification email, then click
**Unsubscribe** on the page it opens. Future updates skip the address.
Repeating it does nothing.

## Filtering

When the page shows services, the subscribe form offers **All services** or
**Only selected**. A subscriber who picks services receives only updates that
affect them (plus page-wide updates, and the resolution of anything they
already heard about). Subscribers can change their choice later from the
preferences page linked in every message.

> [!NOTE]
>
> **Quotas**
>
> The subscriber limit is org-wide, depends on your plan, and counts every
> active subscription: email, Slack, Teams, and webhook.

## Programmatic export

Each page's **Subscribers** view exports that page's list as CSV. Useful
when migrating between systems or generating opt-in audit trails.
