How can I quickly try sending notifications?

From the development tools select script.my_notify and enter the parameters.

service: script.my_notify
data:
  notify: false
  alexa:
    whisper: true
    push: true
    message: I want to tell you a secret.
    volume: 0.5

TTS Alexa-Google

I get the messages, but Alexa or Google don't work

Please check first if Alexa and Google services works, sending a message from dev-tools.

# Alexa service
service: notify.alexa_media
data:
  # replace 'echo' with your own media player
  target: media_player.echo
  data:
    type: tts
  message: >
    I think send messages is the best. This is my mind.

# Google service
service: tts.google_translate_say
data:
  # replace 'red' with your own media player
  entity_id: media_player.red
  message: I think send messages is the best. This is my mind.

For Alexa, if the service work, try sending this message from dev-tools using scrript.my_notify

service: script.my_notify
data:
  notify: false
  alexa:
    message: Were you planning on sending messages, here?
    media_player: test

Phone Manager

When I try to forward a call with callmebot I get an error in the log: Error in phone notification

You need to authorize CallMeBot to contact you here. This is required to avoid spam.

Notify Telegram

With the telegram service, I do not receive the images.

You did not put the telegram name in the notification service. Please look Configuration.yaml Examples.
