With Jenkins, we can setup downstream projects under the post-build action section in the project configuration page. This is very useful for setting up pipeline for Continuous Integration/Delivery.
Sometimes, we want to have conditional checking in order to decide whether the downstream projects should be triggered. In that case, you could install the Flexible Publish Plugin. After the installation, you could have conditional checking for each post-build action.
Done =)
