I have a use case where I want to send a (persistent) notification to someone that's not using HA. So either a mail or sms that the user can click on to acknowledge the notification (thus also snoozing it). Anyone know of something like that?

Is your installation exposed to the internet?

#

Or is it firewalled

firewalled

I believe with a webhook you could send them a link they could click on that will trigger an automation, but they would need to be able to ping the server.

just a web proxy/api that would only accept that endpoint

You'd need to find some way to send that link out via an email or some other communication channel.

yeah, i was wondering about using the rest command integration

#

and then just talk to an api that would then send out the sms/mail
