How to migrate from ios push to mobile app for actionable notifications?

Configuration
1

Hi,

How can I migrate from this depricated solution to something that does exactly the same for the mobile app?

ios:
  push:
    categories:
      - name: Forgot Alarm
        identifier: "forgotalarm"
        actions:
          - identifier: "ALARMON"
            title: "Alarm on"
            activationMode: "background"
            authenticationRequired: no
            destructive: yes
            behavior: "default"


automation:
  - id: push_notification_action_forgot_alarm
    alias: "Push notification action - Forgot alarm"
    initial_state: on
    trigger:
      platform: event
      event_type: ios.notification_action_fired
      event_data:
        actionName: ALARMON
    action:
      service: alarm_control_panel.alarm_arm_away
      entity_id: alarm_control_panel.alarm

Cheers,

Michel

Hi @michel72
I just succeeded migrating one of my automations and will try to guide you the way I did.

Instead of defining the categories on your iphone in the companion app, you specify these directly when sending the notification like this

- service: notify.mobile_appXXXXXXXX
        data:
          title: Forgot Alarm!
          message: Would you like to turn the alarm on?
          data:
            actions:
              - action: ALARMON
                title: "Alarm on"
                activationMode: "background"
                authenticationRequired: no
                destructive: yes
              - action: ALARMOFF
                title: "Alarm off"

And in the response to the event, the event type is changed to mobile_app_notification_action
and actionName replaced by action

automation:
  - id: push_notification_action_forgot_alarm
    alias: "Push notification action - Forgot alarm"
    initial_state: on
    trigger:
      platform: event
      event_type: mobile_app_notification_action
      event_data:
        action: ALARMON
    action:

Hope it works for you, otherwise let me know and I will try to help you further. :slight_smile:

Kind regards,

{{ trigger.event.data[“textInput”] }} not working with this migration tried it on google and alexa ( it was perfectly working with ios push .

   - service: notify.mobile_app_iphone_xs_rami
     data:
       title: Alarm kitchen
       message: Someone is in the kitchen
       data:
         attachment:
           content-type: jpeg
         entity_id: camera.raspicam
         actions:
           - action: "TTS_ALARMLIVINGROOM_ALEXA"
             title: "Home TTS Alarm alexa"
             behavior: 'textInput'
             textInputButtonTitle: 'Send TTS'
             textInputPlaceholder: 'alexa?'
           - action: 'TTS_ALARMLIVINGROOM_GOOGLE'
             title: 'Home TTS Alarm google'
             behavior: 'textInput'
             textInputButtonTitle: 'Send TTS'
             textInputPlaceholder: 'google'


 - alias: "Home TTS Alarm google"
   trigger:
     platform: event
     event_type: mobile_app_notification_action
     event_data:
        action: TTS_ALARMLIVINGROOM_GOOGLE
  action:
    - service: tts.cloud_say
     data_template:
       entity_id:  media_player.living_room_speaker
       message: >-

       cache: true

     data:
       target: 
         - media_player.rami_s_2nd_echo_dot
       data:
         type: announce
       message: '{{ trigger.event.data["textInput"] }}'
