How do I create an app in automator for running terminal commands?

I want an automator app that will run two terminal commands to configure and start my web app. I have not seen a simple explanation for doing what seems a simple thing. Open terminal, enter commands, web app starts. That is all I want to do. In a little startup app I can click on my desktop.

These are the terminal commands:

cd stable-diffusion-webui

./webui.sh --no-half

Thanks for any solution, or directions to where this is concisely explained.

Launch Automator
1. New Document
2. Application
3. Choose
Library > Utilities
1. Run Shell Script
2. Drag/Drop to the right onto the large workflow window
  1. Remove any default content in the Run Shell Script action
  2. Pass Input: (since no input is being passed, ignore this
  3. Shell: if your Terminal shell is configured for Zsh, this will default to Zsh, or you can set it to /bin/zsh.
  4. Enter the following code in the action:

# get your PATH statement here as Automator doesn't know what it is beforehand.

source ~/.zshrc

cd full/path/to/stable-diffusion-webui
./webui.sh --no-half &
exit 0

Save the Automator application to your Desktop, and then double-click to run.
