You'll need these parameters:

• Notification bot user's token. To get it log in as created user, tap on settings icon in bottom left part of Riot and scroll in the very end.
• Room ID. It's available in room settings.

After obtaining all of them you should create new notification with parameters like this:

Where 1st parameter is a homeserver URL (with http or https), second parameter is a bot user's access token and third parameter is a room ID.
