The `pushbullet` notification platform sends messages to [Pushbullet](https://www.pushbullet.com/), a free service to send information between your phones, browsers, and friends.
To enable Pushbullet notifications in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
notify:
- name: NOTIFIER_NAME
platform: pushbullet
api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
```
{% configuration %}
api_key:
description: Enter the API key for Pushbullet. Go to [https://www.pushbullet.com/#settings/account](https://www.pushbullet.com/#settings/account) to retrieve your API key/access token.
required: true
type: string
name:
description: 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`.
required: false
default: notify
type: string
{% endconfiguration %}
### {% linkable_title Usage %}
Pushbullet is a notify platform and thus can be controlled by calling the notify service [as described here](/components/notify/). It will send a notification to all devices registered in the Pushbullet account. An optional **target** parameter can be given to Pushbullet to specify specific account's devices, contacts or channels.
Type | Prefix | Suffix | Example
---- | ------ | ------ | -------
Device | `device/` | Device nickname | `device/iphone`
Channel | `channel/` | Channel tag | `channel/my_home`
Email | `email/` | Contact's email address | `email/email@example.com`
If using targets, your own account's email address functions as 'send to all devices'. All targets are verified (if exists) before sending, except email.
#### {% linkable_title Example service payload %}
```json
{
"message": "A message for many people",
"target": [
"device/telephone",
"email/hello@example.com",
"channel/my_home"
]
}
```
To use notifications, please see the [getting started with automation page](/getting-started/automation/).

Don't forget to [whitelist external directories](/docs/configuration/basic/), so Home Assistant has access to them.
