      Article summary

      This event executes a job every time a preceding time-based automation finishes processing.

      This event is used to create multi-part automations. As soon as one automation executes, the second, connected automation is automatically executed as well.

      If there is a fatal error in the initial automation, the dependent event-based automation will not be executed. A fatal error means the initial automation was not executed at all.

      Hint:

      In Mapp Engage, the designation ​(S)​ means system-related. Generally, you only combine ​system (S) events​ with ​system (S) jobs​. For more information, see Contact (C) vs. System (S) Automations

      Recommended Automations​

      An automation is a combination of an event plus a resulting job. The following combinations are recommended. It is possible to create other combinations, as well, but not all combinations of events and jobs result in meaningful system behavior.

      • Time-based Automation Finished (S) + Export Data to Server (S): This automation exports data to a server every time a certain time-based automation finishes processing.
