Example Automation Using Events

Blueprint

Send notifications based on events created by the Auto Backup integration, such as when a backup fails.

Notify on Backup Failure

- alias: "Notify Backup Failure"
  trigger:
    platform: event
    event_type: auto_backup.backup_failed # (1)
  action:
    service: persistent_notification.create # (2)
    data:
      title: "Backup Failed."
      message: |-
        Name: {{ trigger.event.data.name }}
        Error: {{ trigger.event.data.error }}

1. We listen for the auto_backup.backup_failed event.
2. Create a persistent notification on failure with the backups name and the error.
