I am going to say no.
Daisy chaining such products may be counter productive with negative/dangerous results.
However more information is needed.
This inverter?

This UPS?

Why the need for the described connections. What is the end objective/requirement?
What does the documentation for the Inverter and the UPS indicate?
What is the incoming power source?
What other peripherals need to be supported? PC and one monitor at least - correct?
Are you able to provide some sort of sketch or diagram showing the proposed power path/connections?
Something like the following line diagram:
Power company ===Power service ===> Inverter ===> UPS ===> PC
What are the powerdemands of the PC and connected peripherals?

Hello Ralstone
Yes the links you provided are correct.
My end objective is to use my PC (with load)for extended periods during powercuts as well to protect my PC components and to ensure a smooth flow of power during power outrage without interruption. The dealer recommended that I should use the UPS along with the Inverter to ensure that my pc is not interrupted/turned off during powercut.
I have 2 PC's though they aren't always on use simultaneously. My Gaming setup requires a lot of power.
The path is as follows:
Grid===>Inverter===>Ups===>Gaming PC
My other PC, TV and other electronics are connected directly.
I hope I am able to clarify the details you wanted. Since I have little to no knowledge in this area. And thats why I came here for an Expert's opinion.
I am assuming the powerconsumtion of my PC under normal to mid load is around 500W-600W
The specs and peripherals are as follows:
I7 13700k
Rtx 4080
1000w Psu
6x Case Fans
3x Radiator fans (Aio)
Alienware aw3423dwf monitor.

The products that you have in mind are intended to protect the hosted components.
Primarily to provide just enough power for just long enough for the end user to properly and gracefully shutdown the systems.
Not to keep working, gaming, etc.. At most allow a backup or update to finish. But even those can be and should be canceled if there is not enough time to finish.
And for the most part, gaming is likely to be moot especially if playing online. Modems, routers, internet all likely to be down anyway.
Plus, as posted by @ex_bubblehead, inverters, UPS's, surge protectors, and so forth should not be daisy-chained. Likely such warnings are presented in the product's documentation - perhaps not prominently.
And the dealer should know that.....
Plus when power protection and backup is truly needed (life saving devices and so forth) then quality equipment needs to be obtained, properly installed, regularly maintained, and use documented.
For most users the key is to have enough time to simply shutdown the PC and to avoid file corruption and data loss.
The latter can be managed with a routine backup plan.
