+To use this notification platform in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+notify:
+  - name: NOTIFIER_NAME
+    platform: facebook
+    page_access_token: FACEBOOK_PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN
+```
+
+Configuration variables:
+
