# Basic vs. Advanced Automations

> Understand the differences between Basic and Advanced Automations based on your Kajabi plan.

Depending on your Kajabi subscription, you may have access to **Basic or Advanced Automations**. If you are on the Basic Plan, you have access to Basic Automations, whereas Growth and Pro Plans have access to Advanced Automations.

Learn more about each Kajabi Plan at [kajabi.com/pricing](https://kajabi.com/pricing).

## Basic Automations

Basic Automations use the simple, yet powerful "when this happens, then this will follow" concept.

For example, with Basic Automations you can add a Tag or send an Email when someone submits a Form.

* Basic Automations contain the **When** and **Then** fields
* This enables you to create an Automation where **When** is the trigger and **Then** is the action that occurs once triggered
* Basic Automations can be set up within Course Lessons, Offers, Funnels, Email Campaigns, Events, Forms, Quizzes, and Certificates of Completion

## Advanced Automations

Compared to Basic Automations, Advanced Automations take your Automations one step further by giving you the ability to include a conditional filter.

For example, with Basic Automations you can use an Automation to add a Tag when someone submits a Form. With Advanced Automations, you can fine-tune your Automation further by adding the Tag only if the submitter selects a specific answer on that Form.

* Advanced Automations contain the **When**, **Then**, and **Add Condition** filters
* The **Add Condition** filter enables you to filter your Automation further with an "Only If" condition
* This means you can create an Automation in which the **When** filter specifies the trigger that causes the specified action to occur in the **Then** field, only if the **Add Condition** filter applies. This gives you a vast amount of options to customize Automations to your specific needs
* Advanced Automations allow you to edit, create, and delete Automations all within the **Automations** section of your **Marketing** tab as well as within Course Lessons, Offers, Funnels, Email Campaigns, Events, Forms, Quizzes, and Certificates of Completion
