How do I send the number of the scene triggered by my Popp keypad as payload with mqtt?

I have a Popp keypad, and when using code 1 it triggers scene one, code 2 triggers scene 2 and so on. I have this code working:

 alias: Popp-koder
  action:
    data:
      payload: 1
      topic: eg/Popp
    service: mqtt.publish
  condition: []
  id: '110223457'
  trigger:
    platform: event
    event_type: zwave.scene_activated
    event_data:
      entity_id: zwave.popp
      scene_id: 1

And the result in the receiving end (EventGhost) is like this:

15:16:12 MQTT.eg/Popp u"1"

But what I would like is something like this:

 alias: Popp-koder
  action:
    data_template:
      payload: '{{ trigger.payload }}'
      topic: eg/Popp
    service: mqtt.publish
  condition: []
  id: '110223457'
  trigger:
    platform: event
    event_type: zwave.scene_activated
    event_data:
      entity_id: zwave.popp

But it doesn’t work. It sends the MQTT, but with no payload.:

15:09:46 MQTT.eg/Popp u""

So how do I get it to send the scene that has triggered as the payload? It just seems so “messy” to create one for each code.
