Thanks for trying out the new automation features. Automation is targeted for โserverโ use cases primarily to support external data change events. Additionally it can also run on a schedule. There are no current plans to support user device based use cases. We may look into it for future releases.
Regarding โoldโ actions - Assuming you got a chance to read the primer we posted with the announcement. There are some key additions beyond what you get in workflow rules:
- Support for โexternalโ data change events - eg: executing a process based on data changes is Sheets or Salesforce
- Wait step - Helps you provide support for use cases that require to do state management. For eg: Donโt execute the next steps till a supervisor approves a certain record.
- Process to process invocation - Create processes and use them in other processes and bots. This modularity provides reuse that can save time.
- New โGrouped:โ action - This allows you to trigger one or more processes from an app view using the action mechanism.
Let us know if you have additional questions.
