This page shows how to send files from one source device to multiple destination devices when an external request arrives 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
Let an external request initiate a transfer from a single source device to multiple destination devices, and perform additional tasks after the transfer completes. The caller starts the distribution and the configured follow-up actions cover what belongs after it.
Key components
External request through a supported integration (e.g., API)
Source device (e.g., Windows)
Multiple destination devices
Follow-up actions (after transfer)
How it fits your workflow
Use this solution when the system that asks for a distribution also expects something to follow, such as a callback, a status update, or a script on the destination machines. The request, the fan-out, and the closing step belong to one configured workflow.
Common use cases
Deploy from a build pipeline to multiple servers and run a restart script
Push files from a portal and send a confirmation back to the requester
Distribute on an application event and update a status record
Release to several environments and notify the release channel

1How do I trigger multi-device distribution with follow-up actions?
Configure the request integration, destinations, and supported post-transfer actions.
2When are follow-up actions executed across multiple destinations?
Verify whether actions wait for all destinations or use another completion condition.
3How can I troubleshoot an external request that fails?
Check request validation, permissions, destination settings, transfer results, and logs.
