Automation: Link Confluence Page

[Yasmine]

Hi Everyone, 

We are using Jira WM, and ive set up an automation to create a confluence page triggered by issue creation when certain field conditions are met, which works great. 
However, i am having a hard time setting up an additional automation or altering the existing one ^ to link said confluence page to the issue that triggers it. Is there a way i can do that?

Hello @Yasmine 

This article discusses how to create and link a Confluence page to a Jira ticket via automation.

Hello @Yasmine 

If you don't mind using an add-on, Elements Publish to Confluence lets you do exactly what you are asking.

Full disclosure: I'm the Product Manager of the app.

With our app you can create Confluence pages from Jira issues. It integrates with Automation, but it has many more features than the native solution. Indeed, you can : 

• insert any Jira issue data in the Confluence page (and keep the value synchronized between the issue and the page if needed)
• use any Confluence template you need or design the page yourself
• automatically link the page to the issue
• automatically copy attachments from Jira to Confluence

The app is free for 30 days, (and stays free if your instance is under 10 users), so feel free to give it a try, and don't hesitate to tell reach our Support if you have any question.

Kind regards,

Julien
