Chain runs into a pipeline

Connect Market Analysis → Investor Pitch → Board Report as a single automated pipeline.

Run chains let the output of one Forge team automatically trigger a new run on another team. Instead of manually copying an output and starting a new run, the pipeline executes end-to-end with one brief. This guide sets up a Market Analysis → Investor Pitch → Board Report chain.

Step 1: Open the first team's tools page

Navigate to your Market Analysis team. Click the Tools tab. Scroll down to the Run Chains section.

Step 2: Create the first chain

Click Add chain. Configure it:

Name

Auto Investor Pitch

Target team

Investor Pitch

Brief template

Prepare an investor pitch based on this market analysis:

{{output}}

Target audience: Series A investors.
Focus on: market opportunity, competitive moat, financial projections.

Step 3: Add the second chain

Now go to the Investor Pitch team's tools page. Add another chain:

Target team: Board Report
Brief template:
Prepare a board report summarising the investor pitch findings:

{{output}}

Include: key metrics, risks, next quarter priorities.

Step 4: Run the pipeline

Submit one brief to your Market Analysis team. When it completes, the Investor Pitch run starts automatically using the market analysis as its input. When that completes, the Board Report run starts. Three comprehensive deliverables from one brief.

Available chain variables

{{output}}Full output of the completed run
{{title}}Run title
{{brief}}Original run brief
Tip:Keep chain briefs focused. The {{output}} variable can be very long — give the receiving team specific instructions about what to extract and emphasise, otherwise the second team tries to include everything.
