Webhook triggered template sensor not working

Configuration

This question is regarding WEBHOOK-based template sensor, like explained here:

TRIGGER BASED SENSOR AND BINARY SENSOR STORING WEBHOOK INFORMATION

This article mentions that;

Template entities can be triggered using any automation trigger, including webhook triggers. Use a trigger-based template entity to store this information in template entities.

However, I have created a Webhook using automation, following these instructions; Webhooks configuration. I know my Webhook works as this automation gets triggered by the Webhook and actions are executed. The Webhook also works externally, via Nabu Casa Cloud.

However! If I use the same webhook_id in a template sensor, it does NOT get triggered. See my template sensor below:

  - trigger:
      - platform: webhook
        allowed_methods:
        - POST
        - PUT
        local_only: false
        webhook_id: <re-used webhook from automation>
    sensor:
      - name: "ODO meter"
        state: "{{trigger.json.vehicle_mileage}}"
        unit_of_measurement: km

      - name: "fuel level"
        state: "{{trigger.json.can.fuel.level}}"
        unit_of_measurement: "%"

What am I doing wrong?

Works for me

- trigger:
  - platform: webhook
    allowed_methods:
    - POST
    - PUT
    local_only: false
    webhook_id: test-template-webhook

  sensor:
    - name: "ODO meter"
      state: "{{trigger.json.vehicle_mileage}}"
      unit_of_measurement: km

curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --request POST \
  --data '{"vehicle_mileage": 5}' \

Aren’t you still using the same webhook id in an automation?
I can imagine a conflict

Thx! Do you also use Nabu Casa and has your manual webhook been published there?

If not, then I’ll try without Nabu Casa…

Nevermind. It worked. No clue why it did not work last time I tried. But solved!
