# Migration Hub Journeys task automation
<a name="task-automation"></a>

**Note**  
The task-automation feature is in preview release. It is available in US East (N. Virginia).  
This is pre-release documentation. Both the task-automation feature and this documentation are subject to change.

A task can have one of two execution types: `Manual` or `Automated`. The default execution type is `Manual`. When you execute an automated task, it runs a Migration Hub automation unit. For information about automation units, see [AWS Migration Hub Automation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/migrationhub/latest/ug/mha.html).

The following topics describe how to create an IAM role that you can use to automate tasks, how to set the execution type of a task to `Automated`, and how to execute an automated task.
