No action performed despite 'valid query' and '1 content found'

[Stephan Christel]

Hey all! 

I am new to confluence and am trying to dip my toes into automation.

I created a simple rule that is supposed to check once a week if a certain page was updated within the last 6 hours, and then send a notification to an email address.

This is what my rule looks like, please note that the query is deemed valid and that one page is detected to match.

When the rule is scheduled, however, it returns 'no actions performed' in the audit log. Can somebody give some advice on how to diagnose this?

Actually resolved it with help of this: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Re-Re-Confluence-Automation-CQL-Error/qaq-p/2477458/comment-id/280688#M280688

Cannot use an IF in this case for some reason, condition needs to go in the branch selection via a Branch rule / related entities block

Hi @Stephan Christel This is interesting and I'm curious to see what you can achieve with this. How many pages do you expect this rule to return/handle at once in production? Similarly, how many emails do you expect to be sent out?

Hey @Levente Szabo _Midori_ . In all honesty, this is more of a practice thing to play with the automation features, and only useful for myself. My company is very small and nobody else is using automation. If that would change, I assume I'll have to deactivate this rule for being inefficient.

Right now, all it does is remind my supervisor to read my weekly updates xD
