How to use Autopage with the APL Paginated List Responsive Template

I'm new to APL so my apologies if I'm missing something which should be obvious. I can demonstrate AutoPage working per the example given here, but can't figure out what I need to do to achieve the same behavior using the AlexaPaginatedList responsive template.

Is what I'm trying to do possible using the responsive templates?

{
    "type": "APL",
    "version": "1.7",
    "import": [
        {
            "name": "alexa-layouts",
            "version": "1.4.0"
        }
    ],
    "mainTemplate": {
        "parameters": [
            "alexaPaginatedListData"
        ],
        "items": [
            {
                "navigation": "none",
                "onMount": [{
                    "type": "AutoPage",
                    "componentId": "testpager",
                    "delay": 1000,
                    "duration": 1000
                }],
                "type": "AlexaPaginatedList",
                "id": "testpager",
                "headerTitle": "AutoPage Test",
                "headerAttributionPrimacy": false,
                "backgroundScale": "best-fill",
                "backgroundAlign": "bottom",
                "theme": "dark",
                "listItems": [
                    {
                        "primaryText": "Home Garden",
                        "imageSource": "https://d2o906d8ln7ui1.cloudfront.net/images/templates_v3/paginatedlist/PaginatedList_Dark1.png"
                    },
                    {
                        "primaryText": "Home Garden",
                        "imageSource": "https://d2o906d8ln7ui1.cloudfront.net/images/templates_v3/paginatedlist/PaginatedList_Dark2.png"
                    },
                    {
                        "primaryText": "Home Garden",
                        "imageSource": "https://d2o906d8ln7ui1.cloudfront.net/images/templates_v3/paginatedlist/PaginatedList_Dark3.png"
                    }
                ]
            }

Hi @Mark Beauchamp,

you only need to change one small thing in your document to make it work. The AlexaPaginatedList component uses the property "listId" instead of "id". I made you a working example here: https://apl.ninja/document/xeladotbe/8sSv0RBcXyeItAFmrBJUqX1E59wy5hG0

Here you can find all properties supported by the AlexaPaginatedList component: https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/docs/alexa/alexa-presentation-language/apl-alexa-paginated-list-layout.html#alexapaginatedlist-parameters

Regards,

Alex
