Filters in Automations - multiple conditions?

Looking for a solution/work around to have more specific filters in my automation.

I want it to fire when any of two conditions are true, AND when any of three other conditions are true. Can this be done? Maybe with a second automation?

    Can you make a formula field to calculate to to true (checked) when the more complex conditions are met.  Then hook the Automation on that field being checked?

      Actually, that's exactly what I figured out 10 minutes after posting this.  I was just coming back to this thread to update my solution.

        The same thing can happen in Quick Base for example on Role Permissions when you need more complex conditions that simple a single level ANDs and ORs.  So we just make a formula field.
