# Jira - New/updated comment trigger (real-time)
The New/updated comment (real-time) trigger monitors Jira for new or updated comments in real-time.
COMMENT ACCESS
Workato only triggers jobs from comments that the connected Jira account has access to.
# Prerequisites
This trigger requires the administrators global permission in Jira and an authentication type other than OAuth 2.0.
Use the HTTP connector's New event via polling trigger or the Webhooks connector if the connected Jira account doesn't have this permission.
Refer to How Jira real-time triggers work in Workato for more information.
