AutoNotification Custom SMS Notification and Button/Touch Actions

I want to have an additional button on my notifications from the Android Messages app and after researching, am under the impression that the best way to do this is to intercept the default notification, pull its data, cancel it, and create a new notification with the pulled data and actions and add the additional button.
I tried doing this, and it looks like everything is pulling in correctly, but when I click the buttons (mark as read and reply) or the notification itself, nothing happens. I am able to run the actions by just using AN > Action and everything works fine, but through the notification generated by AN, it doesn't work and I'm having trouble figuring out why.

 

I'm not sure that would apply to me since I'm on Android 6.X

 

Yes that's what I did as far as I know. Here's what I relevant configs I have for the Autonotification action in tasker:
Action on Touch: %antouchaction
Action on Dismiss: %andismissaction
Dismiss on Touch: true
Button 1: %anbutton1action
Label 1: %anbutton1text
Button 2: %anbutton2action
Label 2: %anbutton2text

And right now touching the notification dismisses it with no additional action, and touching the buttons does nothing.

 

Aha, thanks for the tip!
This is now 90% working, with the exception of getting the notifications to cancel after performing the button actions.
Right now, I have the %anid of the original notification being saved as the notification id for the created (duplicate) notification (as opposed to the %importantWhatsapp variable used in the example). This same ID is passed as one of the anaction=:= variables for the Autoapps command event, and then in the associated task I have an AutoNotfication cancel action that uses that ID. Is there a problem with using the same ID as the original notification in the duplicate? If so, what should be used as an alternative?

 

Ok apparently this was fixed by just changing my use of the variable name "id" in the autoapps command to something like "notid". Not sure if "id" is some kind of protected variable.
