Confused about notification for Alerts

I’m attempting to setup a simple alert for my garage door but the setup for notifications is not clear based on the doc. It says:

To setup the alert integration, first, you must setup a notification integration.

# Example configuration.yaml entry
alert:
  garage_door:
    name: Garage is open
    done_message: Garage is closed
    entity_id: input_boolean.garage_door
    state: 'on'
    repeat: 30
    can_acknowledge: true
    skip_first: true
    notifiers:
      - ryans_phone
      - kristens_phone

I tried searching for the notification integration doc and closest I could find by name is this? But it says nothing about how to setup something like ryans_phone in the example.

There is also Notify Group (which is not mentioned by name in the Alert doc) but seemingly could be it? Even then the example in that doc uses the notify.xyz syntax when calling the notification group which is different than the Alert doc.

What am I missing? Where / how do you configure the notifiers used in the Alert example?
