I know I can use an action selector to let users create their own actions in a blueprint, but I want to do the following:
I want a selector that shows a list of notify.<phonename> to select the correct phone to send a message to. The blueprint will fill the data field automatically based on other !input variables. is this possible?

not possible
🎉
(that's part of the reason notifications are getting overhauled)

Can I do something with a text input and then concatinate that to let's say "notify." + !input phone_name ?

yeah, you can, but it won't always work
you can have them attach a device_tracker entity and restrict it to mobile app
that should have the same object_id
Personally, what I do is even more complicated than that
magic linden
Okay. Not totally sure how to do this tbh.

I have them add a single notification action
and then I replace that shit with my own information and just grab the action
using templates
magic linden
Ah okay. Yeah, that's way over my head...
buoyant spear
probably best to just have a field where they copy/paste the notification action from developer tools -> actions page.

Thank you.
For now I solved it like this:
variables:
phone: !input phone
phone_action: "notify.{{ phone }}"
And use the action:
- action: "{{ phone_action }}"
It works, but I think it might be tricky

use an action selector, then do
variables:
phone: !input phone
phone_action: "{{ phone[0].action }}"
keep the rest the same
unfortunately, you can't limit what they choose as an action, so the uninformed will mess it up
