What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

Expected outcome (See bold for amendment):

Set Configuration Fields

Set custom values for the GA4 configuration fields, and trigger a page_view event.

Set Configuration Fields is a Web action. The default Trigger is: type = "identify" or type = "page"

Additional information

When sending Identify events to GA4 using the Set Configuration Fields mapping, the customer is confused about why a page_view event should be triggered.

Checking the integration code here - https://github.com/segmentio/action-destinations/blob/main/packages/browser-destinations/destinations/google-analytics-4-web/src/setConfigurationFields/index.ts#L139

We always send page_view to Google when using the Set Configuration Fields mapping, even the customers fire Identify calls (given that The default Trigger is: type = "identify" or type = "page").
