Post job script or dependencies?

Hi. I’m totally new to Deadline scripting so please bear with me.

We are using Deadline to render Maya jobs primarily and I want to automate some things after each renders are done, such as check for missing frames, convert images into mp4, update Shotgun status, etc. and have those tasks show up on Monitor too. Event listener sounds like the way to go but I am still curious about the other ways.

  • Post job script. Will this show up on Monitor?

  • submit a separate job with dependency to the first. can this be done automatically? When I submit a job, does deadline return the job ID so we can create a follow up job as dependencies to it?
