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!

Set the wait to have a timeout and it will work.
Your wait needs to wait for a time, and decide if you want to proceed if you don’t get a response. Right now the wait for a trigger is expecting the event to be ready when it starts (before you’ve even seen the notification), and when it’s not the automation is stopping because continue on timeout is false. A wait for a trigger without a timeout doesn’t wait forever.
Interesting, I haven't heard that til now. Do you know how long it does wait for?
If you set the wait to 0, it will not wait at all and will proceed immediately (or stop the automation if continue is not set). It might be counter intuitive, in some systems a 0 wait means wait forever.
