# Chapter 37. The Build Announcements Plugin

The build announcements plugin is currently incubating. Please be aware that the DSL and other configuration may change in later Gradle versions.

The build announcements plugin uses the announce plugin to send local announcements on important events in the build.

## 37.1. Usage

To use the build announcements plugin, include the following in your build script:

Example 37.1. Using the build announcements plugin

`build.gradle`

    apply plugin: 'build-announcements'

That's it. If you want to tweak where the announcements go, you can configure the announce plugin to change the local announcer.

You can also apply the plugin from an init script:

Example 37.2. Using the build announcements plugin from an init script

`init.gradle`

    rootProject {
        apply plugin: 'build-announcements'
    }
