In the Action sections I have put in notify.notify as a service. This means it will send a message to every notify device home assistant knows. You can also push this to one device just change the service. You can find all notify services under the developer tools -> services. Then type in notify and you will get a complete list

As you can see in the image you can also exclude devices. I have no idea why you would do that but it is possible.
