I am unsure about how to notify systemd, but on my system I use
xautolock to lock my screen with i3lock. I don't use suspend, but you
can configure xautolock to run any command after a set amount of time
of inactivity in xorg. So you could use xautolock to suspend your
system via systemctl suspend provided your user has permissions to do
this.

This doesn't directly answer your question of how to configure this in
logind.conf with systemd, but it will give you a way to suspend in
xorg after certain amount of inactivity.
