Summary: In some scenarios, it is necessary to perform additional actions after a specific rule or web action is completed. For example, this may be required to finalize user account provisioning. Cayosoft Administrator supports configuring one rule to run automatically after another rule or web action is completed.
This article explains how to set up one rule to execute after another rule or web action.
Applies to: Cayosoft Administrator 5.x and above
Configuration steps
Suppose you have the following:
-
Rule 1 (the primary rule or web action)
-
Action 1 (a specific action within Rule 1)
-
Rule 2 (the subsequent rule to run after Rule 1 or Action 1)
You need to configure Rule 2 to run immediately after Rule 1 or Action 1 completes.
Important: For Rule 2, ensure that the Query Criteria is set to use the ObjectGUID of the user created in the Web UI. This ensures that Rule 2 processes the objects created by Rule 1 or Action 1.
Steps to Configure:
-
Open Rule 1 or Action 1 in Cayosoft Administrator.
-
Switch to Design Mode (refer to article How to enable Rule Design Mode in Cayosoft Administrator Console for instructions on enabling Design Mode).
-
Navigate to the Action tab.
-
Expand the Rules to run after this rule section.
-
Click Add and select Rule 2 from the list.
-
Click OK in the Select Rule form.
-
Click Save Changes to apply the configuration.
Result
After completing this configuration, Rule 2 will automatically execute once Rule 1 or Action 1 has finished running.

How can you create a configuration like this for an Office 365 rule? ObjectGUID is not available as a condition. Can any other variables be used?
Hi Jonathan,
Only rules that have ObjectGUID value can be used as post rules. Rules without ObjectGUID don't support this scenario.
Thanks, Tatiana
