The file platform allows you to store notifications from Home Assistant as a file.
To enable file notifications in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
notify:
platform: file
filename: FILENAME
timestamp: 1 or 0
```
Setting `timestamp` to 1 adds a timestamp to every entry.
To use notifications, please see the [getting started with automation page]({{site_root}}/components/automation.html).
