+The file platform allows you to store notifications from Home Assistant as a file.
+
+To enable file notifications in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+notify:
+  platform: file
+  filename: FILENAME
+  timestamp: 1 or 0
+```
+
+Setting `timestamp` to 1 adds a timestamp to every entry. 
+
+To use notifications, please see the [getting started with automation page]({{site_root}}/components/automation.html).
