How to write these triggers with trigger.to_state

HI,

using this automation

automation:
  - alias: 'Send notification upon failed login attempt'
    id: 'Send notification upon failed login attempt'
    initial_state: 'on'
    trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: persistent_notification.httplogin
    condition:
      - condition: template
        value_template: >
          {{ trigger.to_state.state != 'off'  and 
             trigger.to_state.state == 'notifying'}}
      - condition: template
        value_template: >
          {{ is_state('input_boolean.notify_system', 'on')}}
    action:
      service: notify.notify
      data_template:
        message: >
          {% set message = states.persistent_notification.httplogin.attributes.message %}
            {{ as_timestamp(now()) | timestamp_custom('%d %b: %X') }}: {{ message }}
            Track offending ip on http://www.ip-tracker.org/locator/ip-lookup.php?ip={{ message.split('from ')[1] }}
        title: >
          {% set title = states.persistent_notification.httplogin.attributes.title %}
            {{ title }}

tried the template with trigger.to_state:

      data_template:
        message: >
          {% set message = trigger.to_state.attributes.message %}
            {{ as_timestamp(now()) | timestamp_custom('%d %b: %X') }}: {{ message }}
            Track offending ip on http://www.ip-tracker.org/locator/ip-lookup.php?ip={{ message.split('from ')[1] }}
        title: >
          {% set title = trigger.to_state.attributes.title %}
            {{ title }}

or the state_attr():

      data_template:
        message: >
          {% set message = state_attr('persistent_notification.httplogin','message') %}
            {{ as_timestamp(now()) | timestamp_custom('%d %b: %X') }}: {{ message }}
            Track offending ip on http://www.ip-tracker.org/locator/ip-lookup.php?ip={{ message.split('from ')[1] }}
        title: >
          {% set title = state_attr('persistent_notification.httplogin','title') %}
            {{ title }}

but using that won’t fire the action…

isn’t that possible with persistent notifications?

secondly Id like to have the url as clickable link in the notification, right now the full url is displayed.

Id like it to show as

click[here](http://www.ip-tracker.org/locator/ip-lookup.php?ip={{ message.split('from ')[1] }}) to track the offender

but that won’t even work in this editor …:

please have a look?
