Frigate notification to HASS.Agent

as the title says, I want an automation that sends a notification to my windows pc via HASS.Agent. I've tried changing the notify.device entity in the automation but the Frigate blueprint seems to only work with mobile or any devices with the HA app installed.

the action seems like it should work 
action:
  - action: notify.my_pc
    metadata: {}
    data:
      message: Motion Detected
      title: Front Door
      image: >-
        https://[public HA link]]/api/frigate/notifications/{{trigger.payload_json["after"]["data"]["detections"][0]}}/thumbnail.jpg
action:
  - action: notify.my_pc
    metadata: {}
    data:
      message: Motion Detected
      title: Front Door
      image: >-
        https://[public HA link]]/api/frigate/notifications/{{trigger.payload_json["after"]["data"]["detections"][0]}}/thumbnail.jpg
but i get Error rendering data template: UndefinedError: 'trigger' is undefined and I'm not sure how the trigger should be laid out I'm also not sure if the automation would only work when the actual event occurs and I can't just have it fetch the most recent image if I run the action manually

whats your full auttomation or whats your trigger first thing that comes to mind is to check the docu if there's actually a payload_json[after][data][detections][0] if it says trigger is undefined its probably in another variable can you send me the blueprint too maybe? a link to it would be good, i can see if there's any relevant documentation

I managed to get the notification to pop up with this automation but there was no image - I may need to adjust the link: 
alias: PC Notif Test
trigger:
  - platform: mqtt
    topic: frigate/events
condition:
  - condition: template
    value_template: "{{ trigger.payload_json['after']['label'] == 'person' }}"
action:
  - data:
      title: Frigate Person Detection
      message: >
        "Frigate detected a person on the {{
        trigger.payload_json['after']['camera'] }}."
      data:
        image: >-
          https://[Link]/api/events/{{
          trigger.payload_json['after']['id'] }}/snapshot.jpg
    action: notify.my_pc
alias: PC Notif Test
trigger:
  - platform: mqtt
    topic: frigate/events
condition:
  - condition: template
    value_template: "{{ trigger.payload_json['after']['label'] == 'person' }}"
action:
  - data:
      title: Frigate Person Detection
      message: >
        "Frigate detected a person on the {{
        trigger.payload_json['after']['camera'] }}."
      data:
        image: >-
          https://[Link]/api/events/{{
          trigger.payload_json['after']['id'] }}/snapshot.jpg
    action: notify.my_pc

this was without the blueprint entirely, but this is the one i was going to try and alter https://community.home-assistant.io/t/frigate-mobile-app-notifications-2-0/559732
Home Assistant Community
Frigate Mobile App Notifications 2.0
Preamble In 2022, a home assistant release caused issues with the original blueprint. It seems @hunterjm has not visited that thread in some time. I have updated the blueprint and added dozens of new features. I am continuing to do so and the mods have split the thread here to make things simpler. Thank you very much Hunterjm for the foundationa...

Yeah trigger undefined was definitely a problem, but if it works now you just need to play around with the data I don't have ffrigate myself so idk there,e if you can give me the trigger object i can help figure it out, and an example link If you need help with that in the first place ofc
