MQTT event filter value template

I’m trying for days to get a “wait for trigger” action right to monitor for 2 specific values in an MQTT message.

'{"before": {"id": "1634213158.895165-hqxs41", "camera": "CAM1_Voor",
      "frame_time": 1634213159.894722, "snapshot_time": 1634213159.894722,
      "label": "person", "top_score": 0.701171875, "false_positive": false,
      "start_time": 1634213158.895165, "end_time": null, "score": 0.75390625,
      "box": [579, 347, 722, 572], "area": 32175, "region": [482, 276, 782,
      576], "current_zones": [], "entered_zones": [], "has_clip": false,
      "has_snapshot": false}, "after": {"id": "1634213158.895165-hqxs41",
      "camera": "CAM1_Voor", "frame_time": 1634213164.894735, "snapshot_time":
      1634213160.49555, "label": "person", "top_score": 0.818359375,
      "false_positive": false, "start_time": 1634213158.895165, "end_time":
      null, "score": 0.796875, "box": [862, 243, 967, 436], "area": 20265,
      "region": [724, 188, 1024, 488], "current_zones": [], "entered_zones": [],
      "has_clip": false, "has_snapshot": false}, "type": "update"}

The automation is first triggered by any message containing CAM1_Voor, this works.
A variable is used to capture the ID of this message.

variables:
  id: '{{ trigger.payload_json[''after''][''id''] }}'

(This works also)

Next, I want to send the snapshot to telegram as soon as it is ready, in the message above it’s not ready yet (has_snapshot: false). I’m trying to setup a “wait for tigger” where the MQTT message has the same ID as stored in the variable {{ id }} AND the value has_snapshot=true.

platform: mqtt
topic: frigate/events
payload: ‘{{ id }}’
value_template: ‘{{ value_json[‘after’][‘id’] and value_json[‘after’][‘has_snapshot’]==true }}’

Tried many variation but it won’t work. What am I missing here?
