-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 Slack API token to use for sending Slack messages.
-- **default_channel** (*Required*): The default channel to post to if no channel is explicitly specified when sending the notification message.  A channel can be specified adding a target attribute to the json at the same level as "message"
-- **username** (*Optional*): Setting username will allow Home Assistant to post to Slack using the username specified. By default not setting this will post to Slack using the user account or botname that you generated the api_key as.
-- **icon** (*Optional*): Use one of the Slack emojis as an Icon for the supplied username.  Slack uses the standard emoji sets used [here](http://www.webpagefx.com/tools/emoji-cheat-sheet/).
