# Custom
-Netdata allows you to send custom notifications, to any endpoint you choose.
-To configure custom notifications, you will need to define the `custom_sender()` function in `health_alarm_notify.conf`
-You can look at the other senders in `/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/alarm-notify.sh` for examples.

+To configure custom notifications, you will need to customize `health_alarm_notify.conf`. You can look at the other senders in `/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/alarm-notify.sh` for examples of how to modify the `custom_sender()` function in `health_alarm_notify.conf`. Ensure you follow the instructions of changing any configuration file to [persist your configuration](../../../docs/configuration-guide.md#persist-my-configuration).
+
As with other notifications, you will also need to define the recipient list in `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_CUSTOM` and/or the `role_recipients_custom` array.
