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
