I’ve been reading through the documentation and looked at several tutorials, but I can’t get actionable notifications working.

Here’s an example YAML that was originally done in the GUI. It’s intented to send an actionable notification with two options, and when you click one, it should send another notification to confirm it worked.

It sends the notification fine, and when I tap the button the wait for trigger section in Home Assistant lights up to indicate that it’s been triggered. But nothing further happens.

Any help appreciated!

alias: Actionable notification test
description: ""
trigger: []
condition: []
action:
  - service: notify.notify
    metadata: {}
    data:
      message: Message me?
      data:
        actions:
          - action: ACTION_NOTIFY
            title: Message me
          - action: ACTION_IGNORE
            title: Ignore
  - wait_for_trigger:
      - platform: event

        event_data:

            value_template: "{{ wait.trigger.event.data.action == \"ACTION_NOTIFY\" }}"
        sequence:

    Have you tried running it through a YAML validator? I have found that a lot of times it’s simply spacing.

      I just ran it through one, and it says it’s valid.

      Home Assistant actually seems to validate it as well.
