Is it possible to create live edit pages with Confluence Automation or by adding a Rovo agent?

[Laura Campbell]

I already have a rule working great that creates a Confluence page on schedule using a specific template for our weekly team syncs.

However people generally don't finish updating the page before the meeting starts, and a live edit page would be a better fit so we don't have to keep refreshing the page (or share from the edit mode).

I wanted to update my Confluence automation rule, but I'm not seeing any option to create a live edit page. There is only "Publish page". I don't see any way to specify with my template either that is should be used to create live edit pages.

Not one to be easily discouraged, I thought "Oh, I"ll just build a really basic Rovo agent to change my page from normal to live edit, and then trigger my Rovo agent in my automation." But in the Rovo Confluence skills I don't see any way to transform a page.

Is it possible to create live edit pages using Confluence Automation? Does it require a workaround with Rovo? Or is it just not possible?

Hey there @Laura Campbell ,

That's a great suggestion!

As we did not have a ticket already, I went ahead and created one:

• CONFCLOUD-83078 - Add Create Live Doc to Confluence Automation

Hope this helps! =]

You're not crazy... "Live pages" aren't (currently) a native Automation action @Laura Campbell   and I haven't (yet) found a way for Rovo to make one :/ 

e.g. no Automation actions include "Live"

and no Rovo skills include "live"

You should be able to do it via the API, Create page has a subtype that allows you to set the page to live.

@Mikael Sandberg I'm like the student who didn't read the book for the book report with APIs. "Oh yeah, you can just create a web request, no problem", but then if I'm  the one who has to do it.... 😅
