They are both called ‘Actions’ in the UI, but have complety different behavior.
Most tap actions are things that run on the frontend - e.g. navigate to an external URL, open a popup, change to a new view.
Automations are solely restricted to the backend, they can’t influence a current user’s browser.
Tap actions can also trigger backend tasks, and in that case they mostly overlap with what automations provide (both call the same set of services).
