vCAC 6.0 CloneWokflow and VM power-on/off via Blueprint

In vCAC 6.0, I created a Blueprint to clone a VM from vCenter VM Template. I am using CloneWorkflow (per-defined or default in vCAC 6.0) as the provisioning workflow and I am also calling an external vCO Workflow (my own workflow) in the Blueprint. My goal is to keep the clone VM power-off before my vCO Workflow is executed and to power on the clone VM as the last step in the Blueprint execution process. But I observed that the clone VM is always power-on before my vCO Workflow is executed and I have to power-off the clone VM at beginning of my vCO Workflow and power-on it again at end. My questions are:

1) in the vCAC 6.0 blueprint,  is there a way I can control the clone VM to remain power-off before my external vCO Workflow is executed?

2) Can I customize vCAC 6.0 default CloneWorkflow or create a new provisioning workflow (new CloneWorkflow inside in vCAC 6.0) to control the clone VM power-on/off timing?

Thanks.
