This page shows how to send files that meet configured selection criteria 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
Chain a filtered distribution to multiple destination devices to the end of a preceding transfer, and perform additional tasks once this transfer completes. Matching criteria, the completion trigger, and the post-transfer actions make up a single sequenced workflow.
Key components
Preceding transfer (completion trigger)
Source device with file selection criteria
Multiple destination devices
Follow-up actions (after transfer)
How it fits your workflow
Use this solution for multi-stage processing where each stage hands a filtered subset to the next and closes with a step of its own, such as an import, a cleanup, or a notification. It keeps a longer pipeline inside configured workflows instead of custom glue code.
Common use cases
Move processed output to multiple systems and trigger an import
Forward matching files from a staging step and archive what stays behind
Distribute approved releases to several environments and notify reviewers
Pass filtered batch results downstream and update a tracking record
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Find answers to the most common questions about this configuration.
1How do I chain matching-file distribution with follow-up actions?
Configure the preceding-transfer trigger, matching criteria, destinations, and supported actions.
2Do follow-up actions run if one destination fails?
Verify whether actions depend on overall transfer completion or individual destination results.
3How do I investigate an incomplete distribution?
Review matching rules, destination-level results, trigger status, and execution logs.
