Automation Login for Due Date Updates

[Jespir Ragbotra]

I'm looking to get help on automation logic for due dates. I'd like for a slack channel to be notified when a child of an Epic has the due date updated. 

For example: 
Epic Name = Deliver Product X

Child Story = Create a new field on the Form

Child Story Due Date = 1/1/23

If a user changes the Due Date on the child story of the Epic, I'd like to get notified via slack. I attempted to create an automation and it worked, but it provided a notification for anytime a due date changed for any stories within the Jira Project versus just stories under the desired Epic.

Here's what I did: 

Trigger - When Value changes for Due Date
Branch - For Stories (or other issues in Epic)
Condition - If: Compare two values. Checks if {{issue.epic link}} equal (epic link ID - note I put a jira link here)
New Action - Then Send Slack message

What am I doing wrong?

If it's for one specific epic, you don't need the branching. 

Take out the branch in the above and it should work fine.
