How do I get an automatic email notification when someone creates a page?

[Greg Sarcona]

I want to receive an email when someone creates a page in a particular space on my Confluence instance.  I prefer it to be when a page is created under a specific page "New Project Ideas" or when using a specific template ("New Ideas template").

How do I set this?

I see options for, and only receive, emails when existing pages are edited, liked, or commented upon.

I've gone through all the Confluence admin tabs for Confluence and the space, and see nothing.

The RSS feed cannot filter for page creation only.

Hello,

You could use the Power Scripts for Confluence add-on for it:

I've found Power Scripts for Confluence really handy for Confluence admins who want to automate their work and apply bulk actions to Confluence.

You can create a listener for the Page Created event with a script like this:

sendEmail("projectmanager", "teamleader1", "Page created", currentUser() + " created a page");

You can find more info about listeners here:

Hi @Greg Sarcona,

You can see whenever a new page is created in a space simply by watching the space.  This will also give you notifications for when the page is edited.  If you don't want to know when the page is edited, you will need to go to your profile and unwatch the pages that are created and you don't want updates on.

Unfortunately for page tree this is not possible at the moment.  There is an open ticket here:  https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-2853

Hope this helps.
