To build an automation workflow in GetResponse: Go to Automation > Create workflow > Build from scratch. Drag a trigger node (e.g., 'Subscribed via form') onto the canvas, connect an 'Action: Send message' node, add a 'Wait' delay of 1 day, and attach a 'Condition: Link clicked' branch to route subscribers dynamically.
