#Notifying (specific) Multiple People

I am trying to use field variables to define a message I want sent in notifications. I have got this part going OK.

However I cannot work out a simple and efficient way of having some check boxes or a selector that can let me choose which mobile devices to send notifications to. I'm trying to take the DRY approach and not have repeat blocks of code over and over again.

What I cannot work out is why notify.send_message is not populating with anything. This would be the ideal place to choose devices to notify, yet it seems completely dead with nothing useful to it - will not show any entities at all.

I really do not want to use someone else's blue print. Surely there must be a way..

I think notify is part-way through a transformation right now. Used to be each device created a service, and you had to call that service.
I believe we are moving to where each notifiable device creates a notify entity, and then you call a generic notify service and pick that entity as the target.

But as far as I know mobile-app has not yet completed that process, so there is no notify entity for them (yet?)

Ahh right, so basically the concept of select the notify service, then choose the target is still in development?

that's my understanding

#

if you want to make this work, I would make your own script, with your own field/selector for each notify target, and then you can call that script anywhere and get a nice picker for who to notify.
