Navigating, building and activating an automation is real simple. Everything you need to build and manage your automations is placed in the toolbar below. 

This makes it easy to switch between options without leaving your primary build page. 

You will always begin in your **Dev **environment first ([click here](https://autodocs.pathfix.com/environments) to know more about Environments) where you will build your automation and run it before you can **Push to Live**.

## Basic

Here are some basic features you need while building out your automation:

- **Call API**: This is the all important option that adds a new API task to your automation. Add this to add an API call
- **If Condition**: Add true/false conditions to a task and add Call API for individual condition 
- **Loop**: Loop through a list, either from your data or response received
- **Send a response**
