Creating Automation Based on a Linked Date Field off a Form.

[AS]

Looking for direction on how to create automation based off a linked date field off a form. 

We have a "Risk Assessment" form that asked for a "Follow-Up/Risk Expire Date"

We would like to create an automation that pings security when this date has passed.

Thanks! -AS

@AS, 

You should write a "scheduled" automation that will run once a day, or perhaps once every 12 hours. Then it can send an email or add a comment for each issue which is past the date.

Fantastic. Thank you!

Currently you have to link that field to a Jira field in order to use it in an automation. Once the API for Forms is released you could use the API instead of linking the fields to get the date from the form and take action on it.

Thanks Mikael, I currently have the field linked to a custom field in Jira. I guess the root of the question would be, is which automation(s) to use after.
