How Multi-Action Automations Work

Multi-action automations provide you with the ability to trigger multiple actions when a single trigger is met. With our standard automations, users can select a single action to take place after a trigger is met. With multi-action automations, users can now schedule for multiple actions to take place when a trigger is met, all within the same automation.

To create a multi-action automation:

  1. Select the Automations on the left.
  1. Click + New Automation.
  1. Select a trigger for your automation.
  1. Select your first action for your automation.
  1. Click + AND action to add an additional action.
  1. Add as many automation options as you want!
💡
An automation will continue to fire all of the selected actions even if one in the series fails. You can view if an automation successfully fired by viewing the logs for your automations. To do so, open your automations window, click on the three vertical dots, and select Logs.
