# Enhancements

### Incoming webhook changes implemented

Atlassian [now requires](https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Automation-articles/Update-on-Incoming-Webhooks-Trigger-for-Atlassian-Automation/ba-p/2921233) a Secret key for incoming webhooks used in Jira Automation. Any automation rules created before January 28, 2025, will continue to function until May 30, 2025, but must be updated to remain operational beyond this date.

To support this change, we’ve added a **Secret** field to the *Send Web Request* action in Canned Responses Pro templates. 

- To trigger Jira Automation from a template, you must now copy the Secret from Jira Automation and paste it into the respective template during the configuration.
- Existing automation rules will remain functional during Atlassian’s grace period but must be updated before May 30, 2025, to avoid disruptions.
- New automation rules require the Secret key immediately. Without it, they will not function.

We strongly recommend reviewing and updating your automation rules as needed.
