Confluence Parent Page & Automation

[Cat Tinsley]

Good morning!

Is there a way to set a parent page using a smart value?

For example:

Using Jira and Confluence for the recruiting lifecycle. Each team has a locked down folder accessible by team leaders/hiring managers. The status updates are emailed to the Jira instance from the ATS, parsed for information to fill fields, and the resume is attached. 

I created a Rovo agent that analyzes the resume and compares it to the job description with the related job title and requisition ID. It creates a new page in Confluence.

Goal:

Have the Applicants resume analysis created as a child of the associated Job Description so it remains organized and easily accessible by the managers.

Is there a way to do this? Do I need to use an agent to find the job description and assign it as the parent page?

Hi @Cat Tinsley 

Allowing smart values for the parent when creating / publishing a new page has been requested since the action was added to rules.  Here is one of the open suggestions to add the feature, which you may watch / vote for to see progress:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/AUTO-2168

Until that is added, one workaround is to call the REST API endpoints directly using the Send Web Request action to set the parent.

Kind regards,
Bill
