I might have some time before my vacation to pick this up. I will update this issue if I don't have the time in the next two days

@danielmarbach thank you for this request and the first look at the functionality. If you need help, let me know.

@leonsteinhaeuser I have submitted an attempt to support this https://github.com/leonsteinhaeuser/project-beta-automations/pull/70. The PR has push rights for maintainers. I tried to test things locally by getting the token properly setup but couldn't find the project permission in the new beta token, and then I got annoyed looking for it ;)
