notify service.call no respons Error

[EderBrach]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to send a message to my cell phone via pyscript and then automatically process the response I give.

Example code:
response = service.call("notify", "mobile_app_phone", return_response=True, message='Something happened', title='Dispatch Alert', data = {"actions":[ {"action":"Message1", "title":"Message1", "response": "Message1"}, {"action":"Message2", "title":"Message2", "response": "Message2"} ]})

Unfortunately, I always get the following error message:

 ServiceValidationError: An action which does not return responses can't be called with return_response=True

Unfortunately, I can't find an answer anywhere. Why is this so? To my understanding, "notify" should deliver a response or not?
or do I have to read out my response differently?

alas, notify method of mobile_app integration doesn't have return_response parameter

Thanks, ALERTua your hint has put me on the right track to solve my problem.

To get the responses on a mobile app notification, you can use an event trigger to continue working with the response.

Example:
@event_trigger("mobile_app_notification_action")
def monitor_mobile_app_actions(**kwargs):
log.info(f"kwargs={kwargs}")

Amazing! I've been trying to figure this out as well. Thanks for the followup!

In case any newbies like myself see this, the kwargs contains the name of the action. So you could do something like:

if kwargs['action'] == "Message1":
  # do some custom action
  ...

example of the kwargs:

kwargs={'trigger_type': 'event', 'event_type': 'mobile_app_notification_action', 'context': <homeassistant.core.Context object at 0x7fab14416ed0>, 'action': 'Message1'}
