What am I not seeing? I have no idea why I am getting this error. It shouldn't even be asking for an integer.

notify = 'SOME' AND status = 'DOWN'

This is a boolean expression. The engine reads it as something like

notify = ('SOME' AND (status = 'DOWN'))

So the engine tries to convert 'SOME' to a boolean (which is 0 or 1 in MySQL/MariaDB)

You probably want this:

notify = 'SOME', status = 'DOWN'
