Folder watcher example doesn't work

smokethis commented 2 months ago

Feedback

I assume the currently published notification example on the Folder watcher page https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/folder_watcher is from an earlier release, however the code example is wildly incompatible with HA as-is. Have just spent ages trawling forums and pages and can suggest an alternative that is functional:

alias: New file alert
trigger:
  - platform: event
    event_type: folder_watcher
    event_data:
      event_type: created
action:
  - action: notify.persistent_notification
    data:
      title: New file alert
      message: Check out new file {{ trigger.event.data.path }}

Is close to the existing example and works properly with the event framework.

That example looks valid, which version of Home Assistant are you running? What is the exact error message you get?
