Calling an action to run a certain amount of times
Written by: webDOMinator 1 year and 9 months ago
This script will start automation on an action we call "Random Action" (this action would be represented as a button in the action toolbox). It is set up to do the automated action from 2 to 5 times.

Program Level Commands
Usage: ca_all:action-name[:limits]
Description: Starts the automation process of running a Custom Action (CA) which is currently loaded in the Action Toolbox and is a "List based action". The action-name is the identifier used on the button for that action in the action toolbox. The limits can be either just one number which represents the number of people from the list to perform the action on, or if a ";" is used like: ca_all:Auto-Subscribe:5;30 then webDOM will peform the Auto-Subscribe action on users 5 through 30 from the information list.:Random Action:var.a
If there was an action in the action toolbox called "Random Action", it would be run (var.a) times. var.a holds the actual number actions that will be automated.
This script is a "Schedule Level Script" or a "Control Script" which means that it is not to be automated itself, but to be clicked once as a button, or scheduled to run at a specific time. It controls the automation process from a higher level than each action that makes up the automation. It's like configuring what automation you want to do, and how many times, then starting automation.
