Send received Meshtastic messages via Telegram

How can I use the Meshtastic integration to create an automation that forwards the messages I receive via Telegram?
With this action, I only receive logging as a message:

data:
message: “Nachricht: {{ states ("meshtastic.gateway_d864_dm") }}”

You have to use an Event trigger.

  - trigger: event
    event_type: meshtastic_api_text_message

Then in your action you strip the message data from the event:

data:
  message: "Nachricht: {{trigger.event.data.data.message | default('Keine Nachricht', 1)}}"

Thank you for your message, but unfortunately it doesn’t work.

alias: Meshtastic test
description: ""
triggers:
  - trigger: event
    event_type: meshtastic_api_text_message
conditions: []
actions:
  - action: notify.send_message
    metadata: {}
    target:
      entity_id: notify.telegram_bot_7001XXXXXX_1888XXXXXX
    data:
      message: “Nachricht: {{trigger.event.data.data.message | default('Keine Nachricht', 1)}}"
mode: single

The following error occurs:

Error in parsing YAML: bad indentation of a mapping entry (line: 13, column: 26)

You have a “pretty” double quote “ at the start of the message, use a plain double quote ".
