I can see why you are seeing this issue.

Trello automation does not run synchronously, so in your example, automation 2 may run before or after automation 2. Furthermore, I have seen Trello batch things from different automations. I don't know exactly the execution flow behind the scenes but I have a way you can simply get around that...

The simplest way to fix would be to trigger automation 2 from the last step from automation 1

```
When an item containing "Account Manager approves keywords" is added to checklist "Understanding Client Business"
```
