+### Why Apprise
+
+Apprise allows the application to sent notifications to a wide variety of services. It let us focus on features instead of maintaining X number of notification channels. Essentially helping us cut down on maintenance/feature requests.

+### Notification Channels
+
+Notification channels are the formatted URLs used by Apprise to send notifications to various services. Refer to the [Apprise documentation](https://github.com/caronc/apprise?tab=readme-ov-file#supported-notifications) for a full list of supported channels and their required formats. You can add as many different channels as you wish. The notifications will be sent to all of them.&#x20;
+
+### Tips and Tricks
+
+#### Format
+
+By default the format used for message is `markdown`  This allows us to do some formatting on the message like bold text etc.
