Value from Array in Notification Message

Third party integrations Node-RED

There’s no way this hasn’t been asked before but I can’t find quite the right question - I’m sending a notification to a phone using the built in node. My message is set up like so:

“message”: “{{payload.after.recognized_license_plate}}”,

This works, but sends the whole array it’s referring to.
Elsewhere, if I just want to send the first value in the array I add [0] to the end, i.e. for another flow I have that writes these values to CSV, I extract the value using a change node to replace the payload with msg.payload.after.recognized_license_plate[0]

This doesn’t work for the notification node, and instead sends what i assume is the header for the value? i.e. “license_plate” rather than the actual value.
What am i doing incorrectly?

Ran this through gemma3:27b and it suggested changing “{{payload.after…}}” to “msg.payload.after…”.
Will report back if it works on the next registered plate.

If you still have a problem, post the complete debug output that provides the above message.
