Hi Kyle, I would need to shorten the variable [var3_message] to a maximum of 50 characters. If it shortens it, then it should append ... to the shortened message.
I am using [var3_message] in an Auto action in a notification and it looks quite bad if a user copies a whole book passage into an activity.
You shouldn't need to be storing the activity message with the notification. CB Activity can handle parsing activity asset notifications. Simply create a notification with an asset of "activity.ACTIVITY_ID" and it will handle parsing out the message, shortening it, and linking to the activity entry automatically.

Hi, in general I would agree with you and if it was a normal notification I would use the setup you described but it does not work for my pusher. I would need [var3_message] for that.
For your pusher? Can you be more specific? I don't have a solution for you in regards to reducing the length of the notification. There isn't a message shortener based off length for notifications.

I have a pusher which seems push notification to my app whenever something triggers an AA. I had hoped that it would be possible to shorten var3_message variable if it is longer than 50 characters. I could have used that shortener as well for making the internal notifications shorter as well. I am using the activity ID asset but the notification body is supposed to contain var3_message
You might be able to use the format functions for that, but it's not going to add the ... for you. Ensure format functions are enabled under Parameters and use the following.
Most notifications in CB Activity do not have a stored message though. Their message gets populated with data during their display handling.
