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:
- Select the Automations on the left.
- Click + New Automation.
- Select a trigger for your automation.
- Select your first action for your automation.
- Click + AND action to add an additional action.
- Add as many automation options as you want!
