How do I add an Automation to my Workflow?

With Automations, you have the option to start certain actions based on how a subscriber interacts with your message. For example, if a subscriber clicks on a link in that message, they'll be tagged with a specific tag to receive another workflow. In this article we'll walk through how to add an Automation to your workflow.
