Telegram message open windows when alarm is activated

Third party integrations Node-RED
1

I am trying to get messaged when I activate alarm and forgot to close all windows/doors.

let payload = {chatId: xxx,type: "message",content: $count(payload) > 0 ? "Der Alarm wurde aktiviert, aber folgende Fenster / Türen stehen noch offen: " & $join(payload.attributes.friendly_name, ", ") & "." : "Der Alarm wurde aktiviert."}
return {payload}

But what comes back is

"ReferenceError: $count is not defined (line 1, col 60)"

Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Here’s my flow where I xxx’ed my chatId and deleted the telegram sender node.

You’re trying to use JSONata functions inside a function node that only accepts javascript.

const names = payload.map((e) => e.attributes.friendly_name).join(", ");
const payload = {
    chatId: xxx,
    type: "message",
    content: payload.length ? `Der Alarm wurde aktiviert, aber folgende Fenster / Türen stehen noch offen: ${names}.` : "Der Alarm wurde aktiviert."
};
return {payload};

Thanks for your reply. Now I’m receiving this:

"ReferenceError: Cannot access 'payload' before initialization (line 1, col 15)"
4 
const names = msg.payload.map((e) => e.attributes.friendly_name).join(", ");
const payload = {
    chatId: xxx,
    type: "message",
    content: msg.payload.length ? `Der Alarm wurde aktiviert, aber folgende Fenster / Türen stehen noch offen: ${names}.` : "Der Alarm wurde aktiviert."
};
return {payload};

EDIT: It works perfectly! Thank you!

Since a call service node accepts JSONata functions, I tried a modification of the code above so that my HomePod minis notify me via tts, which works immediately. Hope this will help others who are interested.

{"message":$count(payload) > 0 ? "Die Alarmanlage wurde aktiviert, aber folgende Türen oder Fenster sind noch offen: " & $join(payload.attributes.friendly_name, ", ") & "." : "Die Alarmanlage wurde aktiviert."}

Thanks again because the code also comes from you from another thread.
