Automation on state changed event

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": {
