Sorry, you need data_template: rather than data:

This will put the whole of the value in the message, so you may need to use a custom format to get it as you require.

Edit: you can also use the template editor under development tools to test any templates (quicker than saving and reloading each time)

Ok

put the trigger ‘at’ time in quotes.

The second condition spacing looks off, should be an even number, HST it does ‘look’ valid yaml.
Petro, it’s AE so quotes not always shown but what is in the file is another matter.
