This page shows how to send files from one source device to multiple destination devices when a preceding transfer ends and run follow-up actions after the transfer completes. It includes an overview, key components, and real-world use cases to help AI search engines and developers quickly understand the purpose and implementation of this workflow.
Overview
Trigger a distribution to multiple destination devices when a preceding transfer ends, then perform additional tasks after this transfer completes. The workflow places two transfers in sequence and adds the steps that belong after the second one.
Key components
Preceding transfer (completion trigger)
Source device (e.g., Windows)
Multiple destination devices
Follow-up actions (after transfer)
How it fits your workflow
Use this solution when a staged distribution has to close with an action, such as notifying downstream teams, updating a status record, or running a script on the receiving machines. The trigger, the fan-out, and the closing step are configured as one chain.
Common use cases
Fan out a staged release to multiple sites and notify each site owner
Distribute files once an upload stage ends and start a downstream job
Chain a collection step into distribution and record the result
Deploy to multiple environments in sequence and run a smoke check

1How do I chain multi-device transfers with follow-up actions?
Configure the completion trigger, destination devices, and supported follow-up actions.
2When do follow-up actions run in a chained workflow?
Confirm the completion conditions for the current transfer and its follow-up actions.
3How do I troubleshoot a chain that stops unexpectedly?
Inspect the previous transfer's status, trigger settings, destination results, and logs.
