1.  Next, on your {{ settings_html|safe }}, create a bot and
    note its email and API key.

1.  In Home Assistant, you need to add the `notify` service to your
    `configuration.yaml` file.  This should look something like this:

1.  The `api_key` parameter should correspond to your bot's key. The `stream`
    parameter is not necessarily required; if not given, it will default to
    the `homeassistant` stream.

1.  And the URL under `resource` should start with:

    `{{ api_url }}/v1/external/homeassistant`

1.  Finally, you need to configure a trigger for the service by adding
    an automation entry in the HomeAssistant `configuration.yaml` file.

    The `data` object takes at least a `message` property and an optional
    `title` parameter which will be the conversation topic and which defaults
    to `homeassistant` if not given.
