  **add this in a client file that loads early:**

```lua
function ESX.ShowNotification(text, texttype, length)
    exports['ph-notify']:Notify(texttype or 'info', 'SYSTEM', text, length)
end
```

* **Then anywhere in ESX you can use:**

Option 2 — Custom ESX Notify Function (safer)
```

* <mark style="color:$warning;">**Option 2**</mark>**&#x20;— Custom ESX Notify Function (safer)**
* **If you don’t want to override ESX default:**

```lua
ESX = ESX or {}

ESX.Notify = function(text, texttype, length)
    exports['ph-notify']:Notify(texttype or 'info', 'SYSTEM', text)
end
```
