Can not send images with discord integration

Configuration
1

Hi,

I managed to send notifications to discord, but I can’t attach any images to my notifications. I followed the documentation and added the url to configuration.yaml

homeassistant:
  allowlist_external_urls:
    - "http://10.102.50.10/snap.jpeg"
    - "http://10.102.50.10/snap_2.jpeg"

Here’s the code I am trying to execute:

service: notify.home_assistant_bot
data:
  message: "A message from Home Assistant"
  target: ["xxxx"]
  data:
    verify_ssl: false
    images:
    - "http://10.102.50.10/snap.jpeg"

But this results in this error in my home assistant logs:

Path not allowed: http://10.102.50.10/snap.jpeg

20:56:32 – (WARNING) Discord - message first occurred at 20:41:48 and shows up 3 times

(The notification without text is being sent to discord)

Error is triggered from here https://github.com/home-assistant/core/blob/8a9f9b94ef8437869895e0227eb0ecf55b38bd92/homeassistant/components/discord/notify.py

Why is the code checking if the file is on the disk if it’s a URL in my LAN? Is this a bug?

Oh god, nevermind!!

I had to use

  data:
    urls:
    - "http://10.102.50.10/snap.jpeg"

instead of

  data:
    images:
    - "http://10.102.50.10/snap.jpeg"

Hi,

for me the following seems to work with my own core install, with the frigate HACS installed. Slightly out of date currently, but that should not matter. Anyway, relevant parts:

alias: Frigate motion detection message to discord
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: mqtt
    topic: frigate/events
    payload: new
    value_template: "{{ value_json.type }}"
    enabled: true
action:
  - service: notify.discord_bot_or_whatever_you_named_yours
    data:
      message: >-
        Saw a {{trigger.payload_json["after"]["label"]}} on
        {{trigger.payload_json["after"]["camera"]}} 
      target:
        - "<your discord target channel id here>"
      data:
        verify_ssl: false
        urls:
          - >-
            http://localhost:8123/api/frigate/notifications/{{trigger.payload_json["after"]["id"]}}/thumbnail.jpg
          - >-
            http://localhost:8123/api/frigate/notifications/{{trigger.payload_json["after"]["id"]}}/snapshot.jpg

This uploads both the specific thumbnail and the full camera snapshot to discord. I did not experiment with the mp4 clip so far, which would be same but /clip.mp4

I did have to add localhost to the allowlist_external_urls portion of the configuration file like this:

homeassistant:
   allowlist_external_urls:
     - "http://localhost:8123/"

Or your messages will lack the picture and you’ll get some log entries with "URL not allowed: "
