# Paths

**Introduction**

The "Paths" step allows you to define multiple branching paths within your automation. Each path can contain its own set of actions, enabling complex decision-making and workflows.

**Configuration**

* **Paths**: A list of paths that you want to create. Each path must have:
  * **Name**: The name of the path, used to identify it within the automation. This parameter is required.
  * **Key**: A unique key for the path, generated automatically and hidden from view. This parameter is required.

You must define at least two paths.

**Subpaths**

Each path created will generate its own subpath where you can define the specific actions that should occur when that path is chosen. The subpaths are dynamically named based on the provided path names.
