Container run optional on the previous container

[rajat_del]

Hi,

I have two containers. The first generates a file, the second container takes the file and send email. I want the 2nd container conditional so that only when the file is generated, the second container starts running.

I don't want to create a chained app or use crew runner macro and would like if it can be done within a workflow?

Hi @rajat_del 

Try using block until done between containers like below. It moderates the flow where 1st flow is completed first, 2nd second so on. This is a common method used for generating files and attaching them in the mail.
