Confused and have questions about the batch automation
I've been attempting to duplicate the logic in the article about batch automation
and I have some confusion about the specifics.
Firstly, while I can get the automation to send a single notification per author with inactive pages, the automation is sending each author the entire list of inactive pages, not just their own pages. Is this intended functionality, or am I missing something? (note, I am filtering to a single author and recipient email in this automation for testing)
(^^ This sends the email recipient a list of every inactive page, regardless if they are not the author.)
The second thing I am confused about is:
In the article, it describes the use of {{inactivePagesPerAuthor}} and goes on to discuss how, when mapped to a variable e.g. authorInactivePages you can use .first() in a smart value, and, while I can find smart value documentation that describes list.first.thing, I cannot find any reference in the documentation to first(), and the post includes a screen cap I think is an error, but I am not sure. From the batch automation post:
I am assuming that this should actually read "authorInactivePages.first().... and just want to verify this, and find out where this particular list functionality for smart values is documented.
