The `rest` notification platform allows you to deliver [RESTful](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer) notifications from Home Assistant to another party.
To enable the REST notification in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
notify:
- name: NOTIFIER_NAME
platform: rest
resource: http://IP_ADDRESS/ENDPOINT
```
Configuration variables:
- **name** (*Optional*): 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`.
- **resource** (*Required*): The resource or endpoint that will receive the value.
- **method** (*Optional*): The method of the request. Default is GET.
- **message_param_name** (*Optional*): Parameter name for the message. Defaults to `message`.
- **title_param_name** (*Optional*): Parameter name for the title. Defaults to none.
- **target_param_name** (*Optional*): Parameter name for the target. Defaults to none.
To use notifications, please see the [getting started with automation page](/getting-started/automation/).
