Automate Confluence Checklists into JIRA issues

[Natasha Walters]

Hi there,

We have created custom checklists in our Confluence spaces that are owned and completed by various staff in our team. I'm trying to find a way of moving the checklists into JIRA to create a set of tasks / issues - some of these are run on a daily / weekly / monthly schedule and have links to various other pages and registers. These are generally admin-related checklists, some are also for recruitment and reporting, so not directly linked to development projects.

At the moment, the checklist is copied in Confluence to a new page and saved with the correct date then completed. To move these items into JIRA I have to manually create a task, then create and assign the sub-tasks (for example, the prep for a new starter coming on board) which is time-consuming and has to be repeated in every instance. Are there any add-ons or other apps that could allow us to produce the checklist in JIRA as tasks and sub-tasks each time a new copy is saved?

I have looked at the Manifestly + Zapier integration, but this would require running 2 additional apps that we don't currently use and then setting up all the checklists in Manifestly again. I would, if possible, like to avoid having to re-create all of the checklists in another platform, but if it integrates well with JIRA would happily consider it.

We also host JIRA and Confluence on server so some add-ons aren't available to us by the looks of things.

I don't have any technical knowledge and have only been using JIRA and Confluence for 1.5 months so please keep this in mind when providing any answers.

Thanks!
