## How it behaves

- Compares the task’s current completion status with its previously stored status. A change starts a run on the Completed or Uncompleted branch.
- Needs a stored prior value for the task. The first event for a task the app has never seen stores the value and does not start a run.

## Errors

Triggers have no error branch. When something goes wrong inside a trigger, no run starts. See [Troubleshooting](https://neondeerdata.com/docs/platform/automations/troubleshooting/).

## Example

Move a deal to the next stage when its "Send contract" task is completed.

**Example inputs**

| Event          | Value                                                                                   |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `task.updated` | Sam Ortiz marks the task "Send contract", linked to the deal Acme Renewal, as complete. |

**Example outputs**

| Output              | Value                                |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| Task                | Send contract                        |
| Task ID             | 2b3c4d5e-6f7a-4b8c-9d0e-1f2a3b4c5d6e |
| Triggered at        | 2026-10-07T11:40:22Z                 |
| Updated by          | Sam Ortiz (workspace member)         |
| Is completed        | true                                 |
| Content             | Send contract                        |
| Deadline            | 2026-10-09                           |
| Linked record count | 1                                    |
| Linked records      | Acme Renewal (deals)                 |
| Completed at        | 2026-10-07T11:40:21Z                 |

The run takes the Completed branch. Reopening the task takes Uncompleted, which has no Completed at. If the app has no stored status for a task, the first change only stores it and starts no run.
