Can you guarantee that the total message is less than 256 characters? That would make the job a lot easier.

Potential solution below: add as many sensors as needed for the length of the message. Each sensor’s state must be no more than 255 characters.

rest:
  - resource: YOUR_URL
    scan_interval: 3600
    sensor:
      - name: Notify message part 1
        value_template: "{{ value[0:255] }}"
      - name: Notify message part 2
        value_template: "{{ value[255:510] }}"
      - name: Notify message part 3
        value_template: "{{ value[510:765] }}"

Notifications documented here:

…and you would set the message to:

"{{ states('sensor.notify_message_part_1') ~ states('sensor.notify_message_part_2') ~ states('sensor.notify_message_part_3') }}"
