Its either your template, node-red or the device that is causing your issue at this point.

I just tested it again with putting \\n into the node red function.
Now it will break lines on the Android device but on the iPhone it will not do it but actually shows me a \n instead.
It’s an iPhone 7 and an Pixel 5. But I know that using only \n also works on newer iPhones like 12 or something since a friend of mine uses this.
So the parity between both worlds does not work for me either… at least not within the node red functions/templates.

Take templates and node red out of the equation and if it works then you can use the elimination process to find out where the issue is. That’s should help you figure out what to do.

Well, this is kinda challenging as I never used anything else for automations or notifications than Node-Red. I kinda preferred the visual approach so right from the beginning I designed everything in there. So I am not really able to leave it out of the equation at this point as I have no non Node-Red notifications in place whatsoever :see_no_evil: :joy:

incorrect slash direction not / but \ always make sure to double check everything when looking at examples like mine a few posts above :slight_smile:

28

nope, tried both, issue is still there

just realized your on an iPhone responding to an android thread. Not 100% sure iPhone supports line breaks.

For iPhone users

service: notify.mobile_app_iphone_de_atxxxx
