Hello,
I have a request for help in understanding the settings and principles of launching Auto Action Batches in the context of Triggers. If and how to set up Triggers in AutoActions for AA Batches.

Of course, in a small aspect, because the whole thing is described in many places as well as in the not so old Kyle's blog CB Auto Actions 8.1.0, but getting to the point:

Do I understand correctly?
(I will use AA for "regular" Auto Action and AAB for Auto Action Batches)

1. I create an AAB, set conditions and select one or a set of existing AAs to fire - that's clear.

2. My tests show that AAB ignores the Triggers (Global Tab) settings in AA that it has on the list, so I can actually choose any and only the other conditions in AA are taken into account: i.e. Access (Global Tab ) plus the ones from the Condition Tab - request for confirmation, pls.

And now doubts:

3. What about Triggers autoaction_onAction that have Condition [var2_id] = the id of the previous AA, are such actions fired by AAB?

4. It looks like AA Triggers should generally be set because the Internal Action URL for AA Triggers None does not contain a random token. So, theoretically, by id test, such AA without Triggers can be fired by the user? So AA without Triggers, generally only for testing - this is what the info tip suggests. Do I understand correctly?

5. What if I want to create an AAB, which is just to perform a specific set of AA actions on users (eg add selected users +100 points once a day and I have to create such AA)? These AAs don't need the Triggers parameter. But it's better to give them one if the point 4. is true?
But which?

a. Conceived, "finger-typed", non-existent eg "joomla_ nonexistent", does this affect performance?
b. or a specific but real Trigger, hoping that there will never be a situation in which such AA will fire normally without AAB? But which? For example related to the some activity of the administrator?

c. Or is there any other trick or tips for this?

I don't know if I have described my doubts clearly enough? I hope so. Thx.

Thanks a lot for the clarification. Your CB AutoAction super plugin offers almost endless possibilities of use. And by the way, maybe it might be worth (sometime) to consider adding an "official fake trigger" like "batchingOnlyAction" to the AA triggers picklist - as an additional alternative to none - if that's not confusing for users, and does not change the direction of development of CB AA. ?
