If you want the chain to be triggered on auto-add as suggested by @ownedbycats, that would need a modification to calibre source to insert the necessary signal.

On the other hand, if you want this when adding books manually, you can have a chain where the add action (through Calibre Actions) is at the top followed by any other actions you want after it. if you choose to go down this route, not the following:
  • When you configure "Calibre Actions", you need to tick the option: "wait until any progress bar shown by action finishes".
  • You probably want all the newly added books to be selected so that other actions in the chain work on them. To do this, add a "Selection Modifier" action right after the "Calibre Actions" action, and tick the option "Select books modified by last action"

Now whenever you want to add books, you click on this chain and it will open Add Books file dialog where you select the books you want as usual. After all books are added, all other actions in the chain will run.
