In this episode of Do More with Qlik: Tips and Tricks Edition, I walk you through how to create dependent task chains in Qlik Cloud. Whether you're managing scripts, data flows, or apps, building a task chain ensures that each process runs in sequence—only when the previous one succeeds.
We’ll be working in a demo space called “Tasks Demo,” using three core objects:
A script that pulls pricing data and stores it in cloud storage.
A data flow that combines that data with inventory details to create a QVD.
An app that visualizes the results in a clear and simple dashboard.
In this video, you’ll learn how to:
Set up a scheduled time-based task.
Configure tasks to trigger only when a prior task succeeds.
Monitor task progress and view refresh statuses in real time.
This approach not only improves the reliability of your data updates but also helps you build a foundation for more complex automation across your Qlik environment.
👇 Watch the video below to see the full walkthrough and learn how to build your own dependent task chain in just a few clicks.

Awesome update - thanks for sharing! One thing that would make it even more powerful is the ability to chain downstream reloads based on triggers beyond just an initial scheduled task. That kind of flexibility would be incredibly helpful!
I.e. Similar to the QAA Start > Webhook > App Reload Finished - means users can chain tasks based on manual reloads/externally triggered reloads etc.
