Telegram notification: message missing, but picture gets sent

Configuration
1

Hi everybody,

I am trying to send a notification when somebody remember to give one of our dogs their medication. Below is the yaml code; I previously had data instead of data_template, but neither of them work.

Can you please tell me what’s wrong with this? The template will work when using it in developer tools > template, and the picture does get sent; also, checking my configuration does not produce any error messages.

Thank you in advance for your help :slight_smile:

It’s a “feature” of Telegram - it’ll work if you set the message as the caption.
