gotify watch command can not find aliases and shell functions - exit status 127 about cli

Your aliases are probably configured inside your .zshrc, zsh -c doesn't source that, because the shell isn't interactive:

$HOME/.zshrc Used for setting user's interactive shell configuration and executing commands, will be read when starting as an interactive shell.

add -i to the zsh command:

$ gotify watch -o short -x '/bin/zsh -ic' 'echo $ZSH $RANDOM'

You can specify the shell that is used to execute the command with --exec or -x.

$ gotify watch -o short -x '/bin/zsh -c' 'echo $ZSH $RANDOM'
/usr/share/oh-my-zsh 14408

@jmattheis thank you for your quick reply.

I can confirm that your command works on my side, too.
However all the oh-my-zsh stuff and whatever I defined in zshrc does not get picked up by the shell used for gotify watch.
So this here e.g. does not work:

$ gotify watch -o short -x '/bin/zsh -c' 'omz'
first run failed command failed to invoke: exit status 127

Ah, I didn't read the zsh documentation... my bad.
Thank you @jmattheis for explaining. Works like a charm =)
