Description
When trying to configure the Notification Sender, it's very unclear what the UI is asking for. The "Trigger Name" field is seemingly asking for a cron parameter, but is very particular about what it'll accept, with no documentation for how exactly it should be formatted. This is in contradiction to the plugin documentation saying no trigger arguments are required. The documentation also discusses needing webhook URLs, but the Explorer UI window seems to suggest wanting an API endpoint, which are also different from each other.

Research direction
Compare the Notification Sender plugin documentation with the Explorer UI, focusing on Trigger Name formatting, trigger arguments, webhook URLs, and API endpoints. Trace where these configuration prompts are defined and decide whether the documentation, UI, or both need to change; done means a new user can configure the sender without conflicting guidance.
