{
  "actionType": "st.retrievePersonPosts",
  "label": "person1Posts",
  "limit": 10,
  "since": "2023-01-01T00:00:00Z",

}

label (optional) – custom label for tracking this action in workflow completion.
limit (optional) – number of posts to retrieve. Defaults to 20, with a maximum value of 20.
since (optional) – timestamp to filter posts published after the specified time.
then (optional) – object or array of child actions to be executed within this action.

Note: both limit and since conditions are applied simultaneously. For example:

If limit is 10, but there are more than 10 posts since the specified timestamp, only 10 posts will be returned.
If limit is 15, but only 5 posts exist after the specified timestamp, only those 5 posts will be returned.
