hello all

i must be dpoing something wrong, but i want to send notify in automation action to gorup notifer
i have this notifer for my phone mobile app
mobile_app_mi_10

and this automation action works fine:

data:
  message: Some message1
action: notify.mobile_app_mi_10

i defined in configuration.yaml the following group

notify:
  - name: shai_kedem2
    platform: group
    services:
      - service: mobile_app_mi_10

when i try to send notification to that group, nothing happens

action: notify.send_message
metadata: {}
data:
  message: Some group message
target:
  entity_id: notify.shai_kedem2

in HA logs did not find anything or error related to that

i also tried to define it via helper UI but same result

any idea?

The notify.send_message action is the issue… use notify.shai_kedem2 as your action:

action: notify.shai_kedem2
metadata: {}
data:
  message: Some group message

The notify entities that will be the targets of the notify.send_message service are still being phased in…

i still didnt manage to define the group via the helper UI create notify group
i only managed to do it via definition in config yaml

That is because the Notify Group Helper is meant for use with notify entities… as mentioned above those are still being rolled out. Currently, notify entities are only available from notification integrations, like File, that only do plain messages without titles or other data. The vast majority of notification integrations do not create notify entities yet, so they can’t be used in a Notify Group Helper.
