How many group homomorphisms from $Bbb Z_3$ to $text{Aut}(Bbb Z_7)$

How many group homomorphism from $Bbb Z_3$ to $text{Aut}(Bbb Z_7)$?



My attempt: Since $Bbb Z_3$ is cyclic, hence the homomorphisms are all determined by $phi(overline{1})$. On the other hand $text{Aut}(Bbb Z_7)cong Bbb Z_6$
.



Since $o(phi(overline{1}))mid |Bbb Z_3|$, so $o(phi(overline{1}))$ can only be $1,~3$. If the order is $1$, it means $phi(overline{1})=overline{1}$. It is indeed a homo. If the order is $3$, it means $phi(overline{1})=overline{2}$ or $overline{4}$. So the total number of group homomorphisms from $Bbb Z_3$ to $text{Aut}(Bbb Z_7)$ is three, as I show above. Am I correct?
