The notify-send
syntax is -A [NAME=]Text
. The -A
flag doesn't include any command. Instead, it prints any invoked action.

I see. But does invoke-action
not execute the action passed to it? What does invoke-action
do? I see this example in the mako manpage
[app-name="some-app-id" actionable]
on-button-left=invoke-action mail-reply-sender
but it's missing some context. It seems to just print the action I give it so I'm not clear on what I'm supposed to use this for.
invoke-action
sends back a signal to notify-send
(or whatever app opened the notification) that the user has selected the action. It's up to the app that opened the notification to handle this signal and (in this case) execute a command.

Makes sense now. Thank you for explaining.
I'm banging my head trying to get this to work but there doesn't seem to be much documentation for actions.
I'm using hyprland on arch linux.
I'm testing via notify-send
notify-send -t 0 -A open='xdg-open https://www.google.com' -A open2='xdg-open https://www.yahoo.com' summary body
I have this in my config
on-button-left=exec makoctl menu -n "$id" dmenu -p 'Select action: '
Nothing happens when I click the notification. But if I manually grab the id via
makoctl list
and runmakoctl menu -n 123 dmenu -p 'Select action: '
, it brings up the menu properly. Although, the actions themselves don't work.I've tested
on-button-left=exec xdg-open https://www.google.com
and that seems to open up correctly. So I know that property works. I printed the$id
to a log so I know that's being passed properly.I also tried
on-button-left=invoke-action open
and nothing happens. I'm not even sure if that's correct. I read the documentation several times and I'm unclear of what's wrong here.I also see this in the journal
Also built from git and get something different
using dmenu
The build from git does load the menu properly when using rofi, but the actions still don't do anything.
