1. Configure trigger

Create a new trigger → Field value changed

• Field to monitor for changes: Choose due date

• Change type: Any changes to the field value

2. Get the authorization token

Add the steps “Get the Projectrak JWT” and then “Store the JWT in a variable“, described at this link: https://deiser-apps.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PROJECTRAKCLOUD/pages/1641490/How+to+create+a+Projectrak+authorization+in+Automation+for+Jira?src=search
