MySQL 5.7 automatic failover steps with GTID=ON

Hello All,
I need help in setting up automatic failover for MySQL 5.7.
I know the steps for the manual failover.
But if i need to automate the failover process please let me know the steps and process.
I have 2 servers only. Master and Slave with GTID=ON.
Please let me know the details.

You should probably look at InnoDB Cluster but to get high availability you will need at least three servers. You may be able to get by with two servers with something like ProxySQL and some intelligence built into your application that senses failure of the primary server.

Thanks for the reply Dave. Not sure about what intelligence i can use that senses failure.
But if i opt for the innodb-cluster do you have any generic steps which i can follow and do it.
