How can i send actions to a template

Configuration

Hi all,
I cannot find the proper way to send objects to scripts. I have a script to send a notification to a mobile and i would like to send the actions that i will have to the script.
So far I have been able to send title and message, simple raw strings and it works perfectly, but I am not able to send the object actions: {{actions}}

action: notify.mobile_app_iphone
metadata: {}
data:
  message: "{{message}}"
  title: "{{title}}"
  actions: "{{actions}}"

Here it cannot parse actions object

You can’t use templates to generate YAML. Only values.

So there is no easy way to send actions to a script? I am still trying with a for loop

      data:
        actions: |
          {% for action in actions %}
            - action: "{{ action.action }}"
              title: "{{ action.title }}"{% endfor %}

Not only is there no easy way, there is no way at all.

You can send values. You cant send configuration.

You can define al the actions you want in the script and choose which actions get executed based on the values you pass to the script, with either a choose or if action.
