    And automation can be triggered by a change in any record. You could set up an Admin Table with just one record in it,  and create a date time field. Then you can have either an automation or a pipeline said that field to be the current date and time and it could trigger an automation.

      I'm already using automation for my app. In a particular scenario, I want automation to be run only after particular automation is complete. So to do this the 2nd automation should be in a queue and wait for the 1st automation to complete. 
      If there is a direct method for this in automation it would be helpful. Currently, i have created another field that acts as a flag. After the 1st automation is completed a value is assigned to this flag field and 2nd automation take trigger based on this flag field.

        It would appear that you have already implemented the exact solution I would have recommended. The last step of automation number one is to set a flag which then triggers automation number two.
