+Registering an Application Service
+==================================
+
+The registration of new application services depends on the homeserver used. 
+In synapse, you need to create a new configuration file for your AS and add it
+to the list specified under the ``app_service_config_files`` config
+option in your synapse config.
+
+For example:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+  app_service_config_files:
+  - /home/matrix/.synapse/<your-AS>.yaml
+
+
+The format of the AS configuration file is as follows:
+
+..  code-block:: yaml
+
+    url: <base url of AS>
+    as_token: <token AS will add to requests to HS>
+    hs_token: <token HS will ad to requests to AS>
+    sender_localpart: <localpart of AS user>
+    namespaces:
+      users:  # List of users we're interested in
+        - exclusive: <bool>
+          regex: <regex>
+        - ...
+      aliases: []  # List of aliases we're interested in
+      rooms: [] # List of room ids we're interested in
+
+See the spec_ for further details on how application services work.
