### Trigger on job completion <Lifecycle status="team,enterprise" />

To _chain_ deploy jobs together, enable the **Run when another job finishes** option and specify the upstream (parent) job that, when it completes, will trigger your job. You can also use the [Create Job API](/dbt-cloud/api-v2#/operations/Create%20Job) to do this.
To _chain_ deploy jobs together:
1. In the **Triggers** section, enable the **Run when another job finishes** option.
2. Select the project that has the deploy job you want to run after completion.
3. Specify the upstream (parent) job that, when completed, will trigger your job.
- You can also use the [Create Job API](/dbt-cloud/api-v2#/operations/Create%20Job) to do this.
4. In the **Completes on** option, select the job run status(es) that will [enqueue](/docs/deploy/job-scheduler#scheduler-queue) the deploy job.

You can set up a configuration where an upstream job triggers multiple downstream (child) jobs and jobs in other projects. You must have proper [permissions](/docs/cloud/manage-access/enterprise-permissions#project-role-permissions) to the project and job to configure the trigger.

For jobs that are triggered to run by another job, a link to the upstream job run is available from your [job's run details](/docs/deploy/run-visibility#job-run-details).

If another job triggers your job to run, you can find a link to the upstream job in the [run details section](/docs/deploy/run-visibility#job-run-details).

These are the available job types in dbt Cloud:
- [Deploy jobs](/docs/deploy/deploy-jobs) &mdash; To create and set up triggers for building production data assets
- [Continuous integration (CI) jobs](/docs/deploy/continuous-integration) &mdash; To create and set up triggers for checking code changes
- [Merge jobs](/docs/deploy/merge-jobs) &mdash; To create and set up triggers for merged pull requests
- [Deploy jobs](/docs/deploy/deploy-jobs) &mdash; Build production data assets. Runs on a schedule, by API, or after another job completes.
- [Continuous integration (CI) jobs](/docs/deploy/continuous-integration) &mdash; Test and validate code changes before merging. Triggered by commit to a PR or by API.
- [Merge jobs](/docs/deploy/merge-jobs) &mdash; Deploy merged changes into production. Runs after a successful PR merge or by API.

Below is a comparison table that describes the behaviors of the different job types:
The following comparison table describes the behaviors of the different job types:
