Can an Automation execute another Automation’s DO commands?

I’d like to be able to execute the same commands in multiple automations. How can you do this and keep the “DO” commands in one place?

Write a script. A script is an automation without a trigger at its basic level.
Then the automation can trigger and call the script, so can other automations.

Or you could trigger a manual event and an automation that is triggered by that event.

Sir_Goodenough’s suggestion is the best way to go, alternatively you can also use the automation.trigger action to accomplish this. Automation action docs.

This is what I was looking for, but scripts is actually a better way. Plus I was able to pass in a value to change the command based on that value.
