Passing message variable to notify command_line

Configuration
,
1

All,
I’m struggling with passing variables to my custom script and couldn’t find in the forum what I’m doing wrong. The script works fine, but instead of using the variable message, I receive “{{ message }}” as the hard-coded content. Can someone point me in the right direction?

notify:
  - name: imessage
    platform: command_line
    command: >
      bash /config/scripts/imessage.sh {{ message }}

After doing more research on this, I don’t think it’s possible to pass a variable using the command_line notify syntax.

I created a shell_command config instead:

shell_command:
  imessage: >
    bash /config/scripts/imessage.sh {{ target }} "{{ message }}"

And a REST notify config that calls this script:

  - name: imessage
    platform: rest
    resource: 'http://homeassistant:8123/api/services/shell_command/imessage'
    method: POST_JSON
    headers:
      authorization: !secret imessage_rest
      content-type: 'application/json'
    message_param_name: message
    target_param_name: target

Now everything seems to be working fine.

Hi @tomx101,
I was wondering if your restful notify procedure is still working?
I am trying to do the same but keep on getting a login error for authorization failure. My shell_command performs as expected. Has the resource specified in the rest notify config changed? My rest notify config is in a notify.yaml. The authorization has ‘Bearer followed by the token’. I also use NGinx if that would make a difference.
Thanks for any hints to get past this.
