Use Variables inside Google Assistant Nabu Casa Integration created Automations / Commands

Dear Community,

I would like to ask is this possible in the future to add feature:

  • Add $Variables inside Google Assistant Commands trough Nabu Casa Assistant Integration

The same way the IFTTT is working:
You can specify a Variable ($), what you can implement inside the command you create for Google Assistant. For Example:

Download Movie $

So if you say Download Movie " Star Wars ". “Star Wars” value will be arrive to HA with Webhook.
like this:

Event name:ifttt_webhook_received
data:
  movie: "Star Wars"

The body of the IFTTT Webhook is this:

{ "action": "call_service", "service": "script.download_movie", "movie": "{{TextField}}" }

I dont know how hard to code that, because im not a developer, but im sure that would be really a useful and often used feature of the Nabu Casa Subscribers. Maybe this will get a lot of new Subscriber / ReSubscriber.

Thank you very much for your hard work,
Best regards,

This can be useful in so many ways
