Dear community, I’m working on a connect Jira add-on I’d like to move to Forge since Connect is about to be deprecated. One part of this add-on is a background task running on our servers which regularly check our customers’ Jira tickets status. It’s quite easy to do that with the Connect framework but I don’t get how to do that with Forge because there is no user interaction except the app installation by a Jira admin. Would you have any idea about it ? Thanks for your support. Best regards, ---

Maybe [Forge triggers](https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/manifest-reference/modules/trigger/) are what you are looking for. > The `trigger` module invokes a function or calls a remote backend when a product event, app lifecycle event, or data security policy event is fired. For example, as the result of an issue being created in Jira. You can listen to [Jira events](https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/events-reference/jira/). ---

Hi Fabien, Thanks for that. Triggers could indeed be helpful in my case, at least partially. I was wondering if oAuth2 application could also be helpful to send requests to our customers’s Jira instances but I still don’t see how to get a token without user interaction. Any thought / experience with oAuth2 apps in Jira ? Best, ---

Maybe using [Web triggers](https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/manifest-reference/modules/web-trigger/) ? > The `webtrigger` module invokes a function as the result of an HTTP request. ---

I would assume that you would just want your back-end to permanently have forge remote tokens that it could use to call the product: [https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/remote/scheduled-triggers/](https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/remote/scheduled-triggers/) Would that work for you? ---

Maybe, all that is still a bit blur to me. Thanks for your advice.
