+
+The HipChat transport requires the following:
+
+__room_id__: HipChat Room ID
+__url__: HipChat API URL+API Key
+__from__: The name that will be displayed
+
+The HipChat transport makes the following optional:
+
+__color__: Any of HipChat's supported message colors
+__message_format__: Any of HipChat's supported message formats
+__notify__: 0 or 1
+
+See the HipChat API Documentation for
+[rooms/message](https://www.hipchat.com/docs/api/method/rooms/message)
+for details on acceptable values.
+
+> You may notice that the link points at the "deprecated" v1 API.  This is
+> because the v2 API is still in beta.
+
+Below are two examples of sending messages to a HipChat room.
+
+```php
+$config['alert']['transports']['hipchat'][] = array("url" => "https://api.hipchat.com/v1/rooms/message?auth_token=9109jawregoaih",

+
+> Note: The default message format for HipChat messages is HTML.  It is
+> recommended that you specify the `text` message format to prevent unexpected
+> results, such as HipChat attempting to interpret angled brackets (`<` and
+> `>`).

 Entities as described earlier are based on the table and column names within the database, if you are ensure of what the entity is you want then have a browse around inside MySQL using `show tables` and `desc <tablename>`.
