Max Minutes (max_minutes): You can limit the number of posts you get based on when a post was posted.
- For this, you can pass a number of minutes, and we will get the new posts between the moment you launch the automation and the number of minute you passed.
For example - if there were 3 new posts in the last 1 hour and 10 posts in the last two hours, and you launch the automation to run now with "max_minutes = 60" the automation will collect 3 net new posts.
