page Slack notification support Instructions how to add Slack notifications to Home Assistant. 2015-08-06 18:00 false false true true
The slack platform allows you to deliver notifications from Home Assistant to [Slack](https://slack.com/).

You need to obtain the Slack API token to be able to send notifications.

To enable the slack notification in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
notify:
  name: NOTIFIER_NAME
  platform: slack
  api_key: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
  default_channel: '#general'

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.
