#How to create a "Take out/in the trash" automation and notify users till completion?

Our trash gets picked up sometime between 7am and 7pm on Thursdays. I wanted to create automations to send a notification Wednesday night to take out the trash and I guess another to take in trash after 7pm. I saw https://community.home-assistant.io/t/actionable-notifications-for-android/256773 and thought this could be good for confirming that someone did it (adding the list of phones) along with Dropdown input helper but wouldn't I need multiple automations (Wednesday night set Dropdown input, send notification then set Dropdown input to outside when triggered, Thursday night set Dropdown input to take in, another notification for Dropdown input when inside)?

Or is there an easier/more efficient way of handling this?

You can do a single automation, but not using that blueprint, the key is adding trigger IDs

I don't have a clear idea of how you want it to work, but generally, you can merge any number of automations into a single automation if you just label the triggers, and then have a choose in the actions to say "if this trigger, do A, if this one do B..." etc
