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

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

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.

And the URL under `resource` should start with:

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

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.
