This template works in Developer Tools, but not in a script. Why?

I have the following template in a script. When I test the template in Developer Tools, it works like I expect. But when I call it, I get an error. Is there a way to accomplish what I’m trying to do here?

The script:

service_template: |
  {% if is_state('device_tracker.frank_iphone', 'work') %}
     notify.email_frank
  {% else %}
     notify.mobile_app_frank_iphone
  {% endif %}
data: |
  {% if title is defined %}
    title: "{{ title }}"
  {% endif %}
  {% if message is defined %}
    message: "{{ message }}"
  {% endif %}
  {% if image is defined or url is defined %}
    data:
      {% if image is defined %}
        image: "{{ image }}"
      {% endif %}
      {% if url is defined %}
        url: "{{ url }}"
      {% endif %}
  {% endif %}

Example of calling it:

service: script.notify_frank_with_data
data:
  title: foo
  message: bar

The error when calling it:
