Types of Automation Steps
An automation starts with a specific event called a Trigger step. This event can be actions like filling out a form, receiving an email, or reaching a certain time, like midday on Monday.
Trigger steps both start the automation and provide the necessary data for it to run. Multiple triggers of different types can start the same automation as long as they supply the required data.
Here are the types of Trigger steps in GoAutomate.

Control steps let you manage the flow of your automation. They let you create different branches and loop back to previous steps. They also mark the start and end of an automation.
Here are the different types of Control steps in GoAutomate.

Activity steps are tasks that need to be done. They can be completed automatically by a system or manually by a person.
When a step is automated, it is performed by a system or service without any human involvement, whilst manual steps might be performed by someone in your team, a customer, or a supplier.
