This script is similar to the existing one that schedules
report results to to be sent to a PM on a regular basis,
but instead takes a topic ID and posts to that. This way
people can have report results sent to a public topic regularly
too and not have to deal with PM recipients and so on.
The main change here is that we now send a single PM to a group rather than individual PMs to each group member.
This change also adds email recipients correctly as target_emails since support was added within Discourse Automation.
This change includes the Discourse base url to allow for subfolder installs, it will also fix another potential issue where reports are sent via email (since we use the email_group_user component) that would require the base_url to know which domain to point to.
This feature enables admins to create reports automatically based on a recurring schedule.
It introduces a new automation script that includes the new email_group_user field added to discourse-automation, along with a query_id and query_params to pass in parameters to the existing data explorer query.
The output of the report will be sent via pm (as a markdown table) to the recipients entered within the automation script.
The automation (supports individual users, email addresses and groups).
