Due date notification
Asked by Dussart:

I created an automation :  
when a due date changes by anyone, notify by mail with the boardname, the cardname, the user and the new duedate.  

Is it possible to add this information : the previous due date, before the user changed the due date.  

<br />

Also, depending on how you're using due dates, you could also use the Amazing Fields Power-Up to create a due date field, and then use the setting to "log activity updates" of that field, which will post comments every time that field is changed showing what it was before and what it was changed to.

Yes, you can get previous due date value using changelog smartvalue :

Previous Date : **{{#changelog.duedate}}{{from}}{{/}}**
