> A post function that runs a sequence of JMWE post functions on the current issue (or issues related to the current issue). Using this post function is the safest way of guaranteeing that a series of post-functions run *in a predictable order* during a transition - it is easier and more reliable than using [Delayed execution](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JMWEC/pages/466322009) on each post function (as was previously recommended).

For example, consider that during a transition you need to first create a new issue (using the [Create Issue(s)](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JMWEC/pages/466256916) post-function) and *then* send a notification email mentioning the new issue (using the [Email Issue](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JMWEC/pages/466322658) post-function). In this scenario, you need to make sure that the first post function has finished running before starting the second, which is something that Jira Cloud doesn't guarantee if you don't use a **Sequence of post functions** post function.
