# Input Link

You can link a Child Cue to a Parent Cue so it runs as soon as an input switch is detected from a Stagehand FX. This can be handy if you have two cues that need to run in close proximity, but require a crew member to give a “Clear” signal for the second cue. In such a case, you could wire a pushbutton to the input of a Stagehand FX. When the Parent Cue runs, the crew member would push the button to start the Child Cue when appropriate.

**Click** the **Add Link** button next to the Child Cue.

The new link will appear above the cue it triggers. Select the Stagehand FX and the input that should trigger the Child Cue.
