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/).
