How to pass Helper text into a script?

I’m working on setting up the HA-Overseerr integration in Home Assistant. I’ve installed it from HACS, and can see that it created 3 new scripts:

How can I enter a TV show into a Text Helper, and then call the the Submit TV Request script to start downloading it?

For example, let’s say I want to download the TV Show “Loki”. I would basically want to be able to enter Loki into the Text Helper from Lovelace to have it call the overseerr.submit_tv_show script.

Under Developer Tools, I’m using this example data, but it just shows “unknown”. Not sure if this is an issue with the integration…or if I’m just formatting the request incorrectly.

service: overseerr.submit_tv_request
data:
  name: breaking bad
  season: latest

I’m going to assume it’s something to do with the integration, as I see this in the logs. The documentation doesnt state if I need to manually create these entities or not, but I wouldn’t assume so?

if name is the thing you want to enter then:

service: overseerr.submit_tv_request
data:
  name: "{{ states('input_text.helper_text') }}"
  season: latest

And I would suggest this above is in a script, and you add a button to your lovelace to run the script
