This page shows how to send only the files that meet your selection criteria to a single destination device when a preceding transfer ends, and run follow-up actions after the new 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 selective transfer to one destination device to the completion of a preceding transfer, and run additional tasks once the new transfer finishes. Matching criteria, sequencing, and follow-up actions are configured together as one workflow.
Key components
Single destination device
File selection criteria
Preceding transfer as trigger
Follow-up actions (after transfer)
How it fits your workflow
Use this solution for staged pipelines that carry forward a filtered subset and then start post-transfer work such as an import, a notification, or an archive step. It fits handoffs where both what moves and what happens next need to be narrowed.
Common use cases
Forward filtered data files and trigger an import
Archive selected output after a chained delivery
Alert a team when selected files reach the next stage
Promote matching build artifacts and run a deployment script
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Find answers to the most common questions about this configuration.
1How do I chain matching-file transfers with follow-up actions?
Set the completion trigger, configure matching rules, and enable supported follow-up actions.
2Do follow-up actions run if no files match?
Verify how empty selections are treated by the transfer and action workflow.
3How can I diagnose a failed chained transfer?
Review the previous transfer's result, matching criteria, trigger settings, and execution logs.
