+### Native Apprise Configuration in Borgmatic 1.8.4+
+
+Starting from version 1.8.4, Borgmatic has native support for Apprise within its configuration. This makes it even easier to set up notifications. Below is how you can add Apprise directly to your Borgmatic `config.yaml`.
+
+```yaml
+apprise:
+    services:
+        - url: mailto://smtp.example.com:[email protected]&pass=YourSecurePassword&[email protected]
+          label: mail
+        - url: slack://token@Txxxx/Bxxxx/Cxxxx
+          label: slack
+
+    start:
+        title: ⚙️ Started
+        body: Starting backup process.
+
+    finish:
+        title: ✅ SUCCESS
+        body: Backups successfully made.
+
+    fail:
+        title: ❌ FAILED
+        body: Your backups have failed.
+```
+
+#### Important Note
+
+Just like in the previous configuration, you can use `$(cat /tmp/backup_run.log)` to send log outputs as part of the notification body. Simply replace the `body` value with this variable to include the log in your notifications.
+
+```yaml
+    finish:
+        title: ✅ SUCCESS
+        body: $(cat /tmp/backup_run.log)
+```
+
