+# Kibana Notifications Plugin
+
+The Notifications plugin provides a set of services to help Solutions and plugins send notifications to users.
+
+## Notifications Plugin public API
+
+### Start
+
+The `start` function exposes the following interface:
+
+- `isEmailServiceAvailable(): boolean`:
+  A function to check whether the deployment is properly configured and the EmailService can be correctly retrieved.
+- `getEmailService(): EmailService`:
+- A function to get the basic EmailService, which can be used to send plain text emails. If the EmailService is not available, trying to retrieve it will result in an Exception.
+
+
+### Usage
+
+To use the exposed plugin start contract:
+
+1. Make sure `notifications` is in your `optionalPlugins` in the `kibana.json` file:
+
+```json5
+// <plugin>/kibana.json
+{
+"id": "...",
+"requiredPlugins": ["notifications"]
+}
+```
+
+2. Use the exposed contract:
+
+```ts
+// <plugin>/server/plugin.ts
+import { NotificationsPluginStart } from '../notifications/server`;
+
+interface MyPluginStartDeps {
+  notifications?: NotificationsPluginStart;
+}
+
+class MyPlugin {
+  public start(
+    core: CoreStart,
+    { notifications }: MyPluginStartDeps
+  ) {
+    if (notifications.isEmailServiceAvailable()) {
+      const emailService = notifications.getEmailService();
+      emailService.sendPlainTextEmail({
+          to: '[email protected]',
+          subject: 'Some subject',
+          message: 'Hello world!',
+      });
+    }
+    ...
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Requirements
+
+- This plugin currently depends on the `'actions'` plugin, as it uses `Connectors` under the hood.
+- Note also that for each notification channel the corresponding connector must be preconfigured. E.g. to enable email notifications, an `Email` connector must exist in the system.
+- Once the appropriate connectors are preconfigured in `kibana.yaml`, you can configure the `'notifications'` plugin by adding:
+
+  ```yaml
+  notifications:
+    connectors:
+      default:
+        email: elastic-cloud-email  # The identifier of the configured connector
+  ```
