An automation always requires a trigger component, which should be the starting point. To create an automation, you must add all necessary components to the editor.

Trigger Components

Components have input ports on the left and output ports on the right. A component receives data through input ports, performs operations, and provides the result through output ports.

If a component shows a warning sign, it needs configuration. Click the component to open the component widget.
