This feature is only available since Update Downloader 2.5.0
We do not recommend to create post action and assign it to a product when:
- Update Downloader shares an export folder with any MetaDefender Core, and
- In Update Settings of that MetaDefender Core, the setting DELETE FILES AFTER IMPORT is enabled.
Reason: the packages in shared folder might be removed by MetaDefender Core first before the post action takes action on those packages.
Pre-defined post actions to be auto triggered whenever a downloaded engine, or its database, turns to ready state to deliver to your all associated offline MetaDefender product(s).
This feature setting can be found under Inventory menu → Post Actions

- Hit ADD NEW POST ACTION to add a new one
- One post action could be assigned to one or multiple created product(s) - Check 4.2.2 Products to learn how to create a product on Update Downloader
- One created product can have one or multiple post action(s) assigned to run

- Hit ADD button to finish.
