# Profile-Based Automation Applied (S)

This event executes a job when a profile-based automation is applied. This can be a mapping or a calculation.

> Hint:
> 
> In Mapp Engage, the designation ​(S)​ means system-related. Generally, you only combine ​system (S) events​ with ​system (S) jobs​. For more information, see [Contact (C) vs. System (S) Automations​](/v1/docs/contact-c-vs-system-s-automations)
