Feedreader automation condition by feed URL

Configuration

The examples for Feedreader only give examples that are triggered by updates to any feed. I’d like to trigger a specific automation for a specific feed. Each feed can be uniquely identified by trigger.event.data.feed_url, but I can’t get a condition that will trigger for a specific feed.

- alias: Feed Trigger
  trigger:
    platform: event
    event_type: feedreader
  condition:
    - condition: template
      value_template: '{{ trigger.event.data.feed_url }} == "http://feeds.feedburner.com/example"'
  action:
    service: persistent_notification.create
    data_template:
      title: "{{ trigger.event.data.title }}"
      message: "{{ trigger.event.data.author }}"

However, when the feed gets updated, the action is not getting triggered. I’ve also tried:

      value_template: '{{ trigger.event.data.feed_url == "http://feeds.feedburner.com/example" }}'

with the same (lack of) results.

I must not be writing the value_template correctly.

Answering my own question. This works:

value_template: '{% if trigger.event.data.feed_url == "http://feeds.feedburner.com/example" %}True{% else %}False{% endif %}'
