Now that we've defined when our Automation will be triggered, let's move to the next part of an Automation, defining what happens when it's launched. Note that Event options are the same regardless of Trigger Type.

Continuing with our Adult Connection Status Change example, we will start the "Launch Workflow" event, triggering the "Member Welcome" workflow, which will set up the Person Profile for new members.

In addition to a Workflow Launch our Automation will run a "Lava Event".

This event Logs a short note for the new member.

When using Lava in Automations, you have many valuable fields to draw from to provide context:

And there you have it, we made an Automation that sets up data for new adult members, no human action needed! Now you have seen an example of Lava and Workflows, but there's more Events to choose from.

Automation Events List

Below is a complete list of Events that can be run for an Automation.

With a trigger and event configured--and the Save button pressed--the automation runs on its own. Now you are free to lean back in your chair and put your hands behind your head.
