+* Start the Backplane agent `backplane connect` - This will get its labels from the

 ## Use
 
+### Setup backplane routing
+
 If you haven't already created a route now is a good time to do so:
 
-	$ backplane route myendpoint.com "some=label"
+    $ backplane route myendpoint.com "some=label"
+
+### Add the backplane buildpack
 
 Add the Backplane buildpack to the list of buildpacks for your Heroku app and
 configure:
 
-	$ heroku buildpacks:add https://github.com/backplane/backplane-heroku-buildpack
-	$ heroku config:set BACKPLANE_LABELS="some=label" $(backplane generate env | grep TOKEN)
+    $ heroku buildpacks:add https://github.com/backplane/backplane-heroku-buildpack
+    $ heroku config:set BACKPLANE_LABELS="some=label" $(backplane generate env | grep TOKEN)
 
 You are now ready to deploy:
 
-	$ git push heroku master
+    $ git push heroku master
 
 > NOTE: You may now turn off inbound traffic from Heroku's router by changing
 > your process name from `web` to `www` or whatever you see fit. Each process
 > should still bind to `127.0.0.1:$PORT` where the backplane agent will be
-> looking for it.
+> looking for it. However, if you do change the process name, be sure to whitelist
+> it with the BACKPLANE_PROCESS_ALLOW environment variable.
 
 Test http://myendpoint.com.
 
 For more information on setting up backplane see `backplane help`.
 
+### Whitelist process types
+
+Use enviroment variable `BACKPLANE_PROCESS_ALLOW` to whitelist process types
+which serve http traffic. If left unset, the process type 'web' and 'www' will be whitelisted 
+by default.
+
+Example:
+
+    $ heroku config:set BACKPLANE_PROCESS_ALLOW=www,admin
+
 ## Known Issues
 
 ### Fetch Error
 
 At times Heroku may report:
 
-	Push rejected, failed to detect set buildpack https://github.com/backplane/backplane-heroku-buildpack
+  Push rejected, failed to detect set buildpack https://github.com/backplane/backplane-heroku-buildpack
 
 This happens intermittently without changes to the buildpack and "fixes itself"
 after some time due to what we believe to be issues on Heroku's end. Please
