How to integrate secure custom fields with Jira Automation

Jira Automation is very helpful for automating repetitive work and integrating Jira with other tools.
Jira Automation can’t read secure field values in a normal way since the values are encrypted. This document explains how to integrate secure custom fields with Jira Automation.
