# Example of a custom template
Here's an example of how to use a custom template. You can also use the default template included in the setup.
Step 1: Configure a template to render a single alert.
```
{{ define "myalert" }}
[{{.Status}}] {{ .Labels.alertname }}
Labels:
{{ range .Labels.SortedPairs }}
{{ .Name }}: {{ .Value }}
{{ end }}
{{ if gt (len .Annotations) 0 }}
Annotations:
{{ range .Annotations.SortedPairs }}
{{ .Name }}: {{ .Value }}
{{ end }}
{{ end }}
{{ if gt (len .SilenceURL ) 0 }}
Silence alert: {{ .SilenceURL }}
{{ end }}
{{ if gt (len .DashboardURL ) 0 }}
Go to dashboard: {{ .DashboardURL }}
{{ end }}
{{ end }}
```
Step 2: Configure a template to render entire notification message.
```
{{ define "mymessage" }}
{{ if gt (len .Alerts.Firing) 0 }}
{{ len .Alerts.Firing }} firing:
{{ range .Alerts.Firing }} {{ template "myalert" .}} {{ end }}
{{ end }}
{{ if gt (len .Alerts.Resolved) 0 }}
{{ len .Alerts.Resolved }} resolved:
{{ range .Alerts.Resolved }} {{ template "myalert" .}} {{ end }}
{{ end }}
{{ end }}
```
Step 3: Add `mymessage` in the notification message field.
```
Alert summary:
{{ template "mymessage" . }}
```
