Help with notification automation rule

Glenn A

I am hitting a wall with this one. I'd like to replicate the exiting notify author of inactive pages template but instead of notifying authors of inactive pages, i want to notify owners of pages not updated in a given time.

I already have a rule that finds pages not updated in n months and adds a label, but now I'd like to emulate a similar outcome to the template. Looking at the template I want to modify, how do get this 2nd branch to build the aggregate message per owner as the {{inactivePagesPerAuthor}} smart value is not available in my case?

Hello @Glenn A 

I believe you need a rule like the one that follows.

First you need to change the first branch used to select pages. It needs to be a Page branch so you can use the Last Updated option.

Then in your next branch you need a different smart value. I also changed the Variable Name, so the next two components also have to be updated to use that variable name.

worked like a charm!!! also equally important/helpful was knowledge of the smart value you referenced (pagesPerOwner) which led me to this gem of a documentation page:
