st.doForPosts
This action allows you to apply the actions specified in its then parameter to each post provided by the parent action.
There is a limit of 20 posts that this action can be applied to. If the parent action provides more than 20 posts, only the first 20 will be processed.
Post-scoped actions can be nested directly under
st.doForPosts, or wrapped in st.openPost first when you also need the post's data or want to run several post-scoped actions together for each post.
Constraints
⏺️ Root Start: not allowed.
⬆️ Parent Actions: st.retrieveCompanyPosts, st.retrievePersonPosts.
⬇️ Child Actions: st.openPost, st.reactToPost, st.commentOnPost, st.retrievePostComments, st.retrievePostReactions.
