Message malformed: extra keys not allowed @ data['shell_command']

Configuration
1

Hello,
I’m new on HA. I try to make a backup script. If I run from ssh, works perfect and now I try to make a cron automation.
I check time trigger and shell command then I write this automation YAML:

alias: backup
description: backup
trigger:
  - platform: time
    at: "03:30:00"
condition: []
action:
  service: shell_command.uploadbackup
mode: single
shell_command:
  uploadbackup: bash /config/shell/upload_backup.sh

When I save, I receive Message malformed: extra keys not allowed @ data[‘shell_command’]

Can anybody help me, please?
Thank you!

Tha goes in your configuration.yaml file, not your automations.yaml file.

shell_command is an integration, not an automation.
