What Is Automation
It’s the process of tasks automatically getting done, usually tasks that are quite laborious and don’t require much variation. For example, an online “Thank You” message when someone fills in a form or makes a purchase, something every visitor will see and would take too much time to send individually.
Wix Automation uses triggers to action the automatic response you wish to create.
