Automatic Clock in in Org Mode

I have stared to use Org’s clocking feature— a feature that helps tracking the time worked on a specific task. As everything in Org mode and Emacs, this feature is enabled through a series of functions, configuration options, variables, and bindings.

After using it for a couple of weeks, I have noticed that I am usually performing two actions one after the other:

• switch the task into “WIP” state
• clock-in

Would it be possible to automatically perform these two actions together? It’s Emacs and I assumed the default answer is yes.
