Is it possible to run a linux systemtask as an workflow event automaticly after creating a new task in Jira?

Question

I need a solution wich is reading data from an pdf attachment within a Jira task? My script to read data from pdf works fine as Linuxtask. So now i want to start the Script automaticly after a certain Jira-Task was created. The script needs the Jira-Task-id to get the correct pdf-attachment.

Can you please give me so ideas to find a solution?

Thank you

Hi Toni,

you could try to define a REST Call during workflow transition (post-event):

Hope this helps.
