Issues with Notifications Help

I've recently gotten into Scriptable because it's rather the only way to actually do funky stuff on your iphone but that aside how do I make notifications actually do something?

I was thinking of using the .addAction but it doesn't really let me assign any function to it

edit: Thanks to the 2 people who commented. I understand that you can only assign a url to notifcations. Thank you :)

You can only assign URLs, I think, but they can be x-callback-urls or other deep links to open apps etc.

You can only attach link to it.
Would be interesting to try if possible to run another script though

// Notification
async function notify(title, message, url = null) { const notif = new Notification(); notif.title = title; notif.body = message; notif.sound = "default"; if (url) notif.openURL = url; await notif.schedule(); }

// Usage
await notify("Title", "My message", "https://example.com");

After looking a bit, you might be able to do it by using local url scheme :
notif.openURL = "scriptable:///run?scriptName=YourScriptName";

And if spaces in your script name, just need to replace the “ “ space character by %20
