AWS Step function string/json concatenation - json

Question

I have orchestrated a data pipe line using AWS Step function.
In last state I want to send a custom notification. I'm using an Intrinsic function States.Format to format my message and subject. It works fine for Context object element. Here, I have tested that in Message parameter.
But it doesn't work with input JSON. This is my input JSON
{
"job-param":{
"pipe-line-name":"My pipe line name", "other-keys":"other values"
}
}
"Success State": {
"Type": "Task",
"Resource": "arn:aws:states:::sns:publish",
"Parameters": {
"Message.$": "States.Format('Execution Id:{}, completed successfully!', $$.Execution.Id)",
"Subject.$": "States.Format('[INFO] {} completed successfully!', $.job-param.pipe-line-name)",
"TopicArn": "arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:************:sns-topic"
},
"End": true
}
While saving this state machine, it gives me following error message:
The value for the field 'Subject.$' must be a valid JSON Path
I checked Input and Result path. They have this value. I can directly use this value as parameter. This is working fine. But I can't format with other string.
"Subject.$": "$.job-param.pipe-line-name"
Alternate approach would be to call lambda to customize and trigger SNS. But I want to avoid that.
Can I request some suggestions to fix this error?
Thanks in advance!

If you want to use any name with - in your JSON then you can write your JSON Path like this:
"Subject.$": "States.Format('[INFO] {} completed successfully!', $['job-param']['pipe-line-name'])",
But it would be easier if you change your input JSON and replace - with _:
"Subject.$": "States.Format('[INFO] {} completed successfully!', $.job_param.pipe_line_name)",
