Frequency capping example
This article provides a usage example of frequency capping.
This section provides a usage example using a sample scenario. In this scenario, it is assumed that your profile has two cooldown groups and one connector with four actions.
Action Name | Cooldown Group | Cooldown Hours | Priority Number | Additional Delay |
---|---|---|---|---|
A | Group 1 | 48 hours | 40 | — |
B | Group 1 | 48 hours | 30 | 2 hours |
C | Default | 24 hours | 1 | — |
D | No Cooldown | — | — | — |
In this scenario, cooldowns are applied to the actions as follows:
-
Cooldown Group 1
- If Action A evaluates to true before Action B, only Action A triggers.
- The 48-hour cooldown starts, during which time neither Action A or B trigger.
- If Action B evaluates to true before Action A, only Action B triggers after the 2 hours configured as an additional delay.
- The 48-hour cooldown starts, during which time neither Action A or B trigger.
- If Actions A and B are both true at the same time, only Action A triggers because it is assigned the highest priority number.
- The 48-hour cooldown starts, during which time neither Action A or B trigger.
-
Default Cooldown
- When Action C evaluates to true, it is triggered instantly.
- The 24-hour cooldown starts, during which time Action C will not trigger again.
- Action D triggers immediately after its condition is met and is not throttled by any cooldown.
