+The slack platform allows you to deliver notifications from Home Assistant to [Slack](https://slack.com/).
+
+You need to obtain the [Slack API token](https://api.slack.com/web?sudo=1) to be able to send notifications.
+
+To enable the slack notification in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+notify:
+  platform: slack
+  api_key: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
+  default_channel: '#general'
+```
