Variables/Tokens/Placeholders in Notification URL

[sneak-it]

Hi all, having an issue utilizing variables/tokens/placeholders in the notification URL. Utilizing Home Assistant to pass notifications, and my goal is to set the nid to the unique ID of the watch, so I can maintain separate notifications per watch. Here is my current URL which works:

hassio://<ip>/longaccesstoken?verify=no&nid=changedetection

Here's what I'm trying to use:

hassio://<ip>/longaccesstoken?verify=no&nid={{watch_uuid}}

But I'm greeted with
hassio://<ip>/longaccesstoken?verify=no&nid={{watch_uuid}} is not a valid AppRise URL.

According to a few lines below we can utilize tokens ({{watch_uuid}} being one of them), but it doesn't seem to be working as expected? Any help would be appreciated!

Solved in latest release - hey btw, can you tell me how you use changedetection.io and home assistant? i'de like to collect more use-cases and write tutorials about some ideas

Absolutely! So right now I use changedetection for 2 main things - software changelogs, and price change/in stock notifications:

I utilize a long-lived access token to get notifications pushed from changedetection to Home Assistant, per apprise docs:
https://github.com/caronc/apprise/wiki/Notify_homeassistant

These appear in HA like so:

Now that you resolved the variable issue (thank you again!), I'm able to create automations based upon individual notifications. I can choose certain notifications to go to a specific mobile device, some to just sit in the app for when I get to them, etc. Heck, with HA I could have certain lights blink in my house if I wanted to!

Here's an example Home Assistant automation:

alias: Change Detection Notification
description: ""
triggers:
  - update_type:
      - added
      - updated
    notification_id: changedetection
    trigger: persistent_notification
conditions: []
actions:
  - device_id: xyz
    domain: mobile_app
    type: notify
    message: "{{trigger['notification']['message']}}"
mode: single
