It would be really nice if the action buttons supported Android's Direct Reply feature, where the user can respond with a text message from the notification window. I think that it would make sense to have this be similar to the http action, with a way of specifying where the message that the user typed should live in the payload sent to the server. Perhaps there could be a value that you put in the JSON, e.g. {{user-message}} that defines where the message should go, or there could be a parameter for a JSON selector, and the user message gets inserted into the JSON object at that selector location (i.e. merged in with the other data you've specified).

💻 Target components

ntfy server and Android app (I'm not sure if iOS or web have a similar concept)

Potential use cases:

Interacting with large language models, where text input is a very natural way to respond to messages
Responding to push notifications that correspond to a human having contacted you, e.g. via Twilio, or via a Home Assistant style smart doorbell integration (e.g. someone rings your doorbell and you write a response that will be spoken through the doorbell)
