Differences between -는 대로 and -자마자 grammar

1. -자마자 is often used with present and past tense, whereas -는 대로 is mostly used with future tense.

I called home as soon as I arrived.
도착하는대로 집으로 전화할게요. (O) / 도착하는대로 집으로 전화했어요. (X)

2. When using -자마자, both clauses are based on temporal relationship that does not need to be related. However, when using -는 대로, both clauses must be related, in which the action in the 1st clause is the reason or motivation for the result in the 2nd clause.
