Can a script or automation get its own name, similar to $0 in bash?
I send a lot of emails and I like automations (in both bash and HA) to append details at the bottom, including the script that sent the email.
I’m also hoping I can put this in the configuration entry for notify/smtp rather than each individual script?

Yes.
script:
foo:
alias: Bar
sequence:
- service: notify.notify
data:
message: "The script name is {{ state_attr('script.foo', 'friendly_name') }]"
This will send the message “The script name is Bar”.
Nope.
Alternatively, you can use the this
variable for self-referencing:
script:
foo:
alias: Bar
sequence:
- service: notify.notify
data:
message: "The script name is {{ this.attributes.friendly_name }}"
