How to write a trigger on an updated field

We monitor customer revenue with a custom field, that is updated every day (history tracking is activiated). 
Whenever the revenue falls below a certain percantage threshold I would like to triigger an alert email or task. 
I found out that i can use <after update> for custom fileds but am quite lost on the next steps. 
Thanks for your help!

I don't think you need to write a trigger for a field update for this. You should try using process builder or workflows.

I didn't find a way to work with workflows based upon changes of a field.

Can you expand on why workflows didn't work? From what you wrote, it sounds like your critiera fits for a workflow or process builder.

Well I can't acess the prior days value via the workflow I built. I read about the formular PRIORVALUE() but it won't allow me to use this in my workflow. I am very new to all this, so I might be doing something wrong though.
