Assistance with Confluence Automation - Checkbox Condition

[Birthe Schmidt]

Hi Atlassian,

I’m currently working on setting up an automation in Confluence that triggers when a page is updated. I want to add a condition that checks the value of a checkbox in a template I’m using, but I’m having trouble locating the ID of the checkbox.

Could you please provide guidance on how to create this condition? Specifically, I’d appreciate any tips on how to dynamically retrieve the correct field ID for the checkbox on the pages using the template.

Thank you for your help!

Hi @Birthe Schmidt 

Welcome to the community.

Do you mean an action Item (task)? This a Confluence has no checkboxes option.

Automation has no option for this as CQL has no option to search if an action item (task) is completed or not.

The API might provide options, to use the option to get the page by id and then provide the body parameter.

In the response the action item (task) should have a UUID and a status if completed or uncompleted

Thanks for quick response!

Yes, I mean "Action Item" that shows up as a checkbox in my template.

I was hoping to be able to create a condition with either "true" or "checked" but it seems not to be possible!?

Hi @Birthe Schmidt 

There is a trigger that look a task status changed, would that help?

then you could make a rule like this:

This seems to work @Marc - Devoteam !!

Great!! Thank you.

Next question: do you have any idea which field/action I can use in the template, to hold names/email addresses and use this as smart value in Send email?
