Go ahead. You've successfully created your first automation for HomePod if you followed the example here to create a music automation.

The above steps may vary slightly depending on the type of automation you choose and configure. For example, if you choose an automation to control a HomeKit accessory like a smart light, you won't use the song selection step. Instead, you need to select a trigger to simply turn the light on or off.
