• Python Version: up to date versions.

:crystal_ball: Additional context tried multiple different ways here and I narrowed the issue down to this per URL tag method that does not work.

tags isn't a valid; see here. Use tag for global representation.

The second example you provided is valid. It's not that it isn't working, it's that you're associating a name/label to the URL. Then you're trying to make a call without leveraging the target Home Assistance variable to specifically access this URL.

The other way works because there is no tag associated and no tag reference in the call (it's a more simplified example).

Check out this blog i did a few years ago and see if it helps

oh yes sorry mistype there. I fixed and and still have the issue.

working with this apprise config:

urls:
  - tgram://...
    - tag: cody
  - tgram://...
    - tag: spouse
  - https://discord.com/api/webhooks/...

and running this action in HA.

action: notify.apprisenotify
data:
  message: The garage door has been open for 10 minutes.
  title: Your Garage Door Friend

= only the discord notification. but when this is ran:

action: notify.apprisenotify
data:
  message: The garage door has been open for 10 minutes.
  title: Your Garage Door Friend
  target: cody

= no notifications and I get nothing in the logs

I also use (and absolutely love) Home Assistant. I use it with Apprise too and very heavily rely on tags. Since it works for me, i want to see if we can pinpoint the differences in our setup. I may very well have a bug and it just isn't surfaced on my end.

So in my configuration directory (for me it's /etc/homeassistant/apprise.yaml I have a file that looks like this (privacy detils redacted of course):

urls:
  # Email notification to everyone
  - mailtos://credentials?name=HomeAssistant:
      tag: everyone
      to:
        - [email protected]
        - [email protected]

  # Email notification
  - mailtos://credentials?name=HomeAssistant:
      tag: alarm, email
      to: [email protected]

  # Pushbullet notification
  - pbul://credentials:
      tag: alarm, pushbullet

Then of course in the configuration.yaml (for HASIO) i have:

notify:
  name: apprise
  platform: apprise
  config: /etc/homeassistant/apprise.yaml

Now an example of a working automation :

- alias: "Garage Door Open Apprise Test"
  initial_state: true

  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: binary_sensor.garage_door
      from: 'off'
      to: 'on'

  action:
  - service: notify.apprise
    data_template:
      target: pushbullet
      title: Garage Door
      message: >-
         'Garage Door Opened {{ now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') }}'

I'd be curious what tweaks i need to accomodate to which your configuration does not work where it should, or if perhaps just re-over-looking your configuration you can spot the problem?

Yeah, very strange. my configs are equivelently the same but I'm using url: http://10.3.2.10:8002/notify/hassio instead of config: in the home assistant configuration.yaml. I also turned on debug in the apprise docker and can see the request when I send the notification without the target: cody but then when I send it with target: cody I don't see anything. So I know it's working just not with the target specified.

I even enabled debug on apprise in HA, can see the logs output when I send a notification without the target and then I do NOT see any logs in HA when I include the target for the notification.

I updated HA docker before testing today as well.
