Question abt confluence automation template: “Notify people about inactive pages when scheduled (rec

[Scarlett]

I am confused when looking at template "“Notify people about inactive pages when scheduled (recurring)”.

• in the template , what branch 1 “Branch rule / for each inactive page“ does is, “user to self define how inactive is considered inactive for a page”

• what branch 2 “Advanced branching > smart values condition > Send email “ does is, to consolidate the inactive page list per author then send the email.

• in other words, branch 2 is using result of branch 1 (include a page in the list based on “inactive definition” set by user)

• based on the above, I concluded - result of 1st branch can be used by the 2nd branch

but https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/what-is-rule-branching/ says:

• Isolation: Branches are isolated. Any changes that occur in a branch won’t be visible to the main rule, or any other branch. For example, if a branch has a Create variable action, the created smart value can be used in that same branch, but can't be used in the main rule, nor in other branches.

if to follow the above, then branch 2 in the template will not be able to consolidate the pages user defined as inactive in branch 1.

is there anything I missed or this template is special?

I don't think you've missed anything, that rule template doesn't seem like it would actually work.
