# Creating and Editing Profiles
Four different types of Profile can be created.
[BrewZilla Profiles](/profiles/creating-and-editing-profiles/brewzilla-profiles.md) - these are designed to help automate your brew day, or make it easy to do complex mash shcedules (for example)
[General Temperature Profiles](/profiles/creating-and-editing-profiles/general-temperature-control-profiles.md) - For temperature control that is not specific to fermentation (cheese-making, for example)
[Pill Hydrometer Profiles](/profiles/creating-and-editing-profiles/pill-hydrometer-profiles.md) - Pill Profles allow you to set alerts that can be pushed to your mobile device based on telemetry
[Fermentation Profiles](/profiles/creating-and-editing-profiles/fermentation-profiles.md) - these allow complex fermentation profiles to be created for any yest or beer combination
Using profiles, you can develop an automated profile to ramp the temperature of an ale fermentation, or to perform a complex step mash in a BrewZilla without lifting a finger!
To create a Profile, Click the **Add Profile** button in the top left.
Then, select a **Profile Type**: **BrewZilla**, **Fermentation**, **General Temperature Control, Pill Hydrometer**
Next, select a **Name** for your Profile (such as *Hazy IPA with Verdant*)
Enter a **Description** for your Profile - this can be anything and is just intended for your reference.
Next, start adding profile steps!
Click the **Add** button to add a Profile Step
This will bring up a new dialog box which allows you to select and enter the desired step details. The options available for each step will vary depending on the selected Profile Type.
Under **Details** you can enter the specifics of each Profile Step
Generally you will enter a Step Name, Step Type, Target Temperature and also when to start and finish the Step.
Under **Alerts** you can set up a custom alert for each step. You can add as many **Alerts** for each step as desired. You can select when to send the alert and also enter a custom **Alert** message (such as "Add Boil Hops Now")
In order to receive alerts you need to select **Enable Mobile App (Push) Notifications** in the My Account settings. You must also enable notifications for the Google Play or App Store App on your mobile device.
Once you have finished each step, click the **Add Step** button to enter a new step.
Once the Profile has be*e*n created, make sure you hit the **Save** button to save the profile to your **My Profiles** library. You can then send it directly to your RAPT device using the **Send Profile to Device** button or using the **Play** button in the **Dashboard** to start a new profile!
Please select the desired Profile below for a detailed guide on the options availabe for each Profile type
