# End Automation Step

> Stop an automation at a specific point for anyone who reaches it.

The **End Automation** step stops the run for anyone who reaches it. The person is marked as **Completed** and receives no further steps.

***

## When to Use It

End Automation is most powerful alongside an [If / Else](/automations/builder/if-else) condition, where you want one group to stop early while everyone else continues. For example:

* Skip the rest of a welcome series for people who are **already in your "Members" list**.
* Stop a follow-up sequence for people who've already registered for an event.

***

## Rules

* An **End Automation** step is always the **last step of its path** — nothing can come after it.
* It isn't available on weekly and monthly ([scheduled](/automations/triggers/scheduled)) triggers, which send once to the whole list.

<Note>
  Ending an automation simply stops the flow for that person — it doesn't unsubscribe them or change anything in Planning Center.
