Jellyfin Playback Notification

To help emulate the Tautulli playback notifications i have setup the following on my Jellyfin server and HA to send me a notification when someone starts playing a movie or show.

Jellyfin Generic Webhook on Playback event, URL is the URL of your HA Webhook:

{
    "Name": "{{{Name}}}",
    "Username": "{{{Username}}}",
    "NotificationUsername": "{{NotificationUsername}}",
    "SeriesName": "{{SeriesName}}",
    "SeasonNumber00": "{{SeasonNumber00}}",
    "EpisodeNumber00": "{{EpisodeNumber00}}",
    "Year": "{{Year}}",
    "ServerName": "{{ServerName}}",
    "NotificationType": "{{NotificationType}}",
    "DeviceName": "{{DeviceName}}",
    "ClientName": "{{ClientName}}",
    "ItemType": "{{ItemType}}",
    "ItemId": "{{ItemId}}",
    "ServerUrl": "{{ServerUrl}}",
    "ServerId": "{{ServerId}}",
    "Thumbnail": "https://URLOFSERVER/Items/{{ItemId}}/Images/Primary",
    "ItemUrl": "https://URLOFSERVER/web/index.html#!/details?id={{ItemId}}&serverId={{ServerId}}",
    "Provider_tmdb": "{{Provider_tmdb}}",
    "Provider_imdb": "{{Provider_imdb}}"
}

I have to hardcode my Jellyfin URL as the serverUrl variable doesnt work for me - not sure why.

Here is my automation YAML

alias: Jellyfin Webhook Notification
description: ''
trigger:
  - platform: webhook
    webhook_id: YOURCUSTOMWEBHOOKID
condition: []
action:
  - service: notify.mobile_app_iphone
    data:
      title: '{{ trigger.json.ServerName }}: {{ trigger.json.NotificationType }}'
      message: >-
        {{ trigger.json.NotificationUsername | capitalize }} started playing
        from {{ trigger.json.ClientName }} on {{ trigger.json.DeviceName }}
      data:
        subtitle: >-
          {% if trigger.json.ItemType == 'Episode' %} {{ trigger.json.SeriesName
          }} - S{{ trigger.json.SeasonNumber00 }}E{{
          trigger.json.EpisodeNumber00 }} - {{ trigger.json.Name }} {% else %}
          {{ trigger.json.Name }} ({{ trigger.json.Year }}) {% endif %}
        image: '{{ trigger.json.Thumbnail }}'
        group: jellyfin-notification-group
        url: '{{ trigger.json.ItemUrl }}'
        actions:
          - action: URI
            title: View on IMDB
            uri: https://www.imdb.com/title/{{ trigger.json.Provider_imdb }}
mode: single

Here is the notification, opening it will show you a cover or thumbnail from the show and provide a link to IMDB. Tapping the notification opens up the jellyfin server to the item being played.

So although this all works i was wondering if there was a better way of doing this or how else this could be expanded upon?

There doesnt appear to be a good way to make the actions contextual, i.e. if TV show show these actions else show these.
