+Statup includes multiple Notifiers to alert you when your services are offline. You can also create your own notifier and send a Push Request to this repo! Creating a custom notifier is pretty easy as long as you follow the requirements. A notifier will automatically be installed into the users Statup database.
+
+## Notifier Requirements
+- Must have a unique `ID` for your notifier
+- Must have a unique `METHOD` name
+- Struct must have `*Notification` pointer in it. 
+- Must create and add your notifier variable in `init()`
+
+## Notification Interface
+Statup has the `Notifier` interface which you'll need to include in your notifier. Below is the current interface.
+```go
+type Notifier interface {
+	Init() error                // runs when notifier starts
+	Install() error             // installs the notifier into the Statup database
+	Run() error                 // main notification go routine (loops and should run actions)
+	OnFailure() error           // anytime a service failure happens, this is ran
+	OnSuccess() error           // anytime a service has a successful response this is ran
+	Select() *Notification      // required method to select the Notification from database
+	Test() error                // a method to send a test for your notifier
+}
+```
+
+## Slack Notifier
+Below is a full example of the Slack notifier which will give you a good example of how to create your own.
+```go
+package notifiers
+
+import (
+	"bytes"
+	"fmt"
+	"github.com/hunterlong/statup/utils"
+	"net/http"
+	"time"
+)
+
+const (
+	SLACK_ID     = 2
+	SLACK_METHOD = "slack"
+)
+
+var (
+	slacker       *Slack
+	slackMessages []string
+)
+
+type Slack struct {
+	*Notification
+}
+
+// DEFINE YOUR NOTIFICATION HERE.
+func init() {
+	slacker = &Slack{&Notification{
+		Id:     SLACK_ID,
+		Method: SLACK_METHOD,
+		Host:   "https://webhooksurl.slack.com/***",
+		Form: []NotificationForm{{
+			id:          2,
+			Type:        "text",
+			Title:       "Incoming Webhook Url",
+			Placeholder: "Insert your Slack webhook URL here.",
+			DbField:     "Host",

+	//}
+	fullMessage := fmt.Sprintf("{\"text\":\"%v\"}", msg)
+	slackMessages = append(slackMessages, fullMessage)
+	return nil
+}
+
+// ON SERVICE FAILURE, DO YOUR OWN FUNCTIONS
+func (u *Slack) OnFailure() error {
+	if u.Enabled {
+		utils.Log(1, fmt.Sprintf("Notification %v is receiving a failure notification.", u.Method))
+		// Do failing stuff here!
+	}
+	return nil
+}
+
+// ON SERVICE SUCCESS, DO YOUR OWN FUNCTIONS
+func (u *Slack) OnSuccess() error {
+	if u.Enabled {
+		utils.Log(1, fmt.Sprintf("Notification %v is receiving a successful notification.", u.Method))
+		// Do checking or any successful things here
+	}
+	return nil
+}
+
+// ON SAVE OR UPDATE OF THE NOTIFIER FORM
+func (u *Slack) OnSave() error {

+	// Do updating stuff here
+
+	return nil

+
+// ON SERVICE FAILURE, DO YOUR OWN FUNCTIONS
+func (u *Slack) Install() error {
+	inDb, err := slacker.Notification.isInDatabase()
+	if !inDb {
+		newNotifer, err := InsertDatabase(u.Notification)
+		if err != nil {
+			utils.Log(3, err)
