Trying to send text string to Google Assistant app using Send Intent action

Hi, all. I use the Google Home app on my Android phone to control my Simplisafe home security system, I can say "Hey, Google, set the alarm to away mode" and Google Assistant tells Google Home to do it, and that works. From what I've been reading, I believe I can use the Send Intent action in the Android operating system to broadcast the text string "set the alarm to away mode" directly to the Google Assistant app, and it will do the same thing. I want to trigger this action with an NFC tag using MacroDroid,so that I can tap my phone on a tag by my door on the way out of my house. I've written the text string in plaintext to a new NFC tag and MacroDroid recognizes it, but I am stumped on how to set the parameters of the Send Intent action. The more I research and read, the more confused I get. I always try to teach myself everything i need to know, but this one has got me stuck. Any advice or suggestions or insight anyone can give me? Thanks in advance.

Please post links to the details/documentation of how to send via Intent and then post a screenshot of what you have configured. Hopefully with this information it will be possible to see if anything is configured incorrectly.
