Scheduled task "trigger" flow chart for when X feed is done

[dreamingdigital]

Could something like this happen? Scheduled task "trigger" flow chart for when X feed is done? I need a way of connecting scheduled tasks to run after feeds are done, mainly these feeds create product update csv files etc..

I haven't tested this but there is a function to trigger a scheduled task. Try putting this in the footer of the feed:

<mvt:do name="l.result" file="g.Module_Feature_SCH_UT" value="ScheduledTask_Trigger( 'precalcprices' )" />

Then just make sure your scheduled task you want to run has the same trigger.

Thank you Brennan we're going to try this out. Will be a good way of keeping some product data up to date via feeds and automated imports w/o any admin intervention.

When you say footer, do you just mean this should be in the last line of the file?

Paul I think "footer" means in the marketing feed not the template, not the header and not the feed iterator. In "advanced mode" there is a footer.

Gotcha! At one point, I was looking for a task to trigger after an imported text file was processed. Can't remember exactly what it was, but could see where it would be useful.
