Automation on state changed event

Configuration
1

I’m using the abandoned gtask custom component and would like to run a automation when a task is marked as done.

I understand that I should use state changed event but I’m not sure how to find the right task.

Maybe a loop?

The event is looking like this.

{
    "event_type": "state_changed",
    "data": {
        "entity_id": "sensor.gtasks_dagpass",
        "old_state": {
            "entity_id": "sensor.gtasks_dagpass",
            "state": "3",
            "attributes": {
                "attribution": "Data from this is provided by gtasks.",
                "tasks": [
                    {
                        "task_title": "Task 1",
                        "due_date": "2020-05-21"
                    },
                    {
                        "task_title": "Task 2",
                        "due_date": "2020-05-21"
                    },
                    {
                        "task_title": "Task 3",
