The `flock` platform uses [Flock.com](https://flock.com) to deliver notifications from Home Assistant.
## {% linkable_title Setup %}
Go to the [Flock.com Admin website](https://admin.flock.com/#!/webhooks) and create a new "Incoming Webhooks". Choose a channel to send the notifications from Home Assistant to, specifiy a name and press *Save and Generate URL*.

You will need the last part of the URL which is the `access_token` for your room.
