How do I send variables through MessagingService?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I’m new to the MessagingService but I want to try to send 2 variables through it so I can make an Announcements system for my game. I am trying to put the variables in a table like this and Publish it

local MessagingService = game:GetService("MessagingService")



game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.Main.Global.MSAnnounce.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, Text, Title)
	local message = {
		Text = Text,
		Title = Title
	}
	MessagingService:PublishAsync("MSAnnouncement", message)
end)

and send it to another script to Subscribe to it like this

local MessagingService = game:GetService("MessagingService")

local function Event(message)
	local players = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()
	for _, player in ipairs(players) do
		-- Get the PlayerGui instance of the player
		local gui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").NoticeNotification.Frame

		-- Tween the position of the gui
		gui.Description.Text = message.Text
		gui.Title.Text = message.Title
		
		
	end
end

MessagingService:SubscribeAsync("MSAnnouncement", function(message)
	Event(message)
end)

After it triggers the Event() function and sets the text to the “Text” and “Title” values, the text becomes nil. I have put print functions to check and only after I Publish it then the text becomes nil. I have tried Encoding the table, Decoding the table, message.Data.text, and more different stuff but it is nil.
I probably dont know everything about the MessagingService or how tables work but any help will be appreciated on how I can set these 2 TextLabels to have the text from a table with variables in messaging services.

Messaging service whenever you sent anything it comes with 2 values

Data: a table where your text and title are located
Sent: the time it was sent in unix time

But basically you have to add the Data value so
Event(message.Data)

For Reference heres the SubscribeAsync
