Is there an automated way to know when a search task is finished exporting? Manually checking with `task.checkStatus` isn't good enough for my use case.

What process needs to be notified of the completion of the task?

I need to send the CSV out via SFTP as soon as the task finishes

I wrote something like this before, and there was a M/R script which checks task status for all tasks which are not complete. it is scheduled to run every 15 minutes

I have another record which contains the status of the export.

so the M/R will grab any that aren't complete, and check on their status.

I'm creating these tasks in a scheduled script. So I'd need another one to check the statuses then?

a M/R script would allow you to schedule every 15 mins

do you have a custom record to represent the search export task?

Yeah I'm tracking all this with a custom record

cool, yes, then create the other script to check status and drop the files to SFTP when the status is complete.

so Script A initiates, and Script B completes.

you can probably skip the scheduling every 15 minutes by using an inbound dependency

OR if it's light enough, you can complete the check action in the same script

<@U5TF1GQ20> do you know how it handles deployments if they're in use?

Oh nice I never saw that until now. Looks like exactly what I need. Thanks!
