# Start date

Start date can be established for every automation. When the start date comes, the automation will change its [**status**](/automation/automation-list/status.md) to enabled automatically. When there is no start date established the automation must be enabled manually. You can do that either after clicking on **Create automation** button or by changing the status on the automation list. 

You can find that option after accessing Automation module and hitting the button Create automation, or in the already existing automation flow, after selecting Edit option on the automation list.
