🐞 Describe the bug
Per the documentation

The broadcast action sends an Android broadcast intent when the action button is tapped.

I am using Tasker to launch an app when the intent action io.heckel.ntfy.USER_ACTION is broadcast. When the message notification is displayed by the ntfy app, along with the action button, Tasker fires as though it has received the intent action (without me tapping the action button). Also, if I open the ntfy app and tap on the action button, nothing happens.

none

🔮 Additional context
a snippet of my code:

    ;Create a HTTP COM object
    $oHttp = ObjCreate("winhttp.winhttprequest.5.1")
 
    With $oHttp
        ;Open POST request
        .Open("POST", "https://ntfy.sh/Broadcast-Test", False)

        ;Set request headers and options
        .SetRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/plain")
        .SetRequestHeader("Title", "This is the title")
        .SetRequestHeader("Action", "broadcast, Open App")

Logs from Android would be helpful here.
Note that there are two different broadcasts. One happens when a message is received (https://docs.ntfy.sh/subscribe/phone/#automation-apps), and one when the button is tapped (https://docs.ntfy.sh/publish/#send-android-broadcast)

It's working fine for me in Tasker. This is how I set up the Intent Received profile

This was my rookie mistake. I mixed up io.heckel.ntfy.USER_ACTION and io.heckel.ntfy.MESSAGE_RECEIVED in Tasker. I wasn't aware that there were two different broadcasts.
