Items Enum: "WEBSITE" "RECENCY" "RATING"

Optionally prioritize the following issues to determine where to send review invites: WEBSITE: generate more first-party reviews if one of the last 5 reviews has 1 star, RATING: prioritize sites that have the lower rating, RECENCY: prioritize sites that haven’t received a review in the last month.

object >= 0 properties

Configure the target distribution of reviews for each site by specifying the ratio as an integer for each site to generate reviews for. E.g. GOOGLEMYBUSINESS: 1 and FIRSTPARTY: 1, would send half of the review invites to Google and half to your First Party site.
