Don't box yourself in when designing automation workflows. There are so many ways to go about designing a workflow, and so many types of Actions to choose from - you can even have on automation trigger another automation!
The "Then trigger another automation" action type breaks the boundaries of what an automation can do by connecting one workflow to another.
This might require some thinking on your end, but every design always starts by setting up a Trigger that will set your automation in motion. After that is done you can start adding Actions:
A. Finding the Actions
1. Click on the + button, located at every intersection on your workflow.
A pop-up window appears.
2. Choose the Actions tab, on the pop-up that appears.
3. Click on the gray dot to navigate between pages of available actions.
4. Click on the Then trigger another automation option.
B. Setting up the Action
1. Select which of your other automations you want to trigger at this step of your design.
Make sure that the automation you select on is already active so that it can be triggered!
2. Click on the Save button.
Your Action step will be ready and waiting inside your workflow.
If you change your mind rest assured that you can always edit your automation workflow to make it work in conjunction with the other automation it triggers. And if you want to time things perfectly, take a look at our super practical Conditional / Control steps.
