The `prowl` platform uses [Prowl](https://www.prowlapp.com/) to deliver push notifications from Home Assistant to your iOS device.

Go to the [Prowl website](https://www.prowlapp.com/) and create a new API key.

To add Prowl notifications to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
notify:
  - name: NOTIFIER_NAME
    platform: prowl
    api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
```

Configuration variables:

- **name** (*Optional*): Setting the optional parameter `name` allows multiple notifiers to be created. The default value is `notify`. The notifier will bind to the service `notify.NOTIFIER_NAME`.
- **api_key** (*Required*): The Prowl API key to use.

### {% linkable_title Prowl service data %}

The following attributes can be placed `data` for extended functionality.

| Service data attribute | Optional | Description |
| ---------------------- | -------- | ----------- |
| `priority`             |      yes | Priority level, for more info refer to the [Prowl API documentation](https://www.prowlapp.com/api.php#add). |

To use notifications, please see the [getting started with automation page](/getting-started/automation/).
