Condition on trigger event_type doesn't work

Configuration
1

Hi !

I’m just trying to receive a notification after an automatic backup, to tell me if the backup succeed or failed.

This yaml code doesn’t work, I don’t receive anything after the backup

- alias: Notif Daily Backup
  description: "Envoi une notification de l'etat de la sauvegarde quotidienne une fois exécutée"
  trigger:
    - platform: event
      event_type: auto_backup.backup_failed
    - platform: event
      event_type: auto_backup.backup_successful
  action:
    - choose:
        - conditions:
            - condition: template
              value_template: "{{ trigger.event.event_type == 'auto_backup.backup_failed' }}"
          sequence:
            - service: notify.mobile_app_oeplusw4
              data:
                message: "La sauvegarde a échoué"
        - conditions:
            - condition: template
              value_template: "{{ trigger.event.event_type == 'auto_backup.backup_succeed' }}"
          sequence:
            - service: notify.mobile_app_oeplusw4
              data:
                message: "La sauvegarde s'est bien déroulée"
  mode: single

As debugging, If I put a notify service action out of conditions like this :

- alias: Notif Daily Backup
  description: "Envoi une notification de l'etat de la sauvegarde quotidienne une fois exécutée"
  trigger:
    - platform: event
      event_type: auto_backup.backup_failed
    - platform: event
      event_type: auto_backup.backup_successful
  action:
    - choose:
        - conditions:
            - condition: template
              value_template: "{{ trigger.event.event_type == 'auto_backup.backup_failed' }}"
          sequence:
            - service: notify.mobile_app_oeplusw4
              data:
                message: "La sauvegarde a échoué"
        - conditions:
            - condition: template
              value_template: "{{ trigger.event.event_type == 'auto_backup.backup_succeed' }}"
          sequence:
            - service: notify.mobile_app_oeplusw4
              data:
                message: "La sauvegarde s'est bien déroulée"
    - service: notify.mobile_app_oeplusw4
      data:
        message: "La sauvegarde s'est déroulée"
  mode: single

I receive “La sauvegarde s’est déroulée” message wich means that one of the triggers event_type (auto_backup.backup_successful or auto_backup.backup_failed) really triggered.

So I don’t understand why the automation workflow doesn’t go in one of the conditions… Some ideas ?

Did you look at the trace of the automation after it triggered? It should tell you exactly why one of the choose options wasn’t triggered as you expected.

Your trigger is for:

auto_backup.backup_successful

but your condition checks for:

auto_backup.backup_succeed

Dumb I am :sweat_smile:
