I've been reading through the documentation and looked at several tutorials, but I can't get actionable notifications working.
Here's an example YAML that was originally done in the GUI. It's intented to send an actionable notification with two options, and when you click one, it should send another notification to confirm it worked.
It sends the notification fine, and when I tap the button the wait for trigger section in Home Assistant lights up to indicate that it's been triggered. But nothing further happens.
Any help appreciated!

I have actionable notifications with notify.notify service working so I’m not sure there - something sounds off.
I don’t think there’s issues with long timeouts, but realize that they won’t persist through restarts of Home Assistant, and depending on your automation settings you can control the number of instances. To disconnect the action from the running automation I often add the event as another trigger to the automation and then add logic to handle the normal trigger and the notification trigger separately. No wait needed in the automation then, just fire the notification and another instance of the automation handles the action.
Oh that sounds like a better way of handling it! When I get a chance I'll take another stab at it and see if I can get it working your way.
