Is there any way to read the contents in a page when using automation?

[김현정(고객운영팀)]

I'm trying to send an email of the contents in a specific page. However the smart values only include page titles and such. Is there any way to include the contents database or a table when using automation?

Hi,

We have been thinking about the problem you have described and eventually also solved. We feel that this problem is a common one and that Confluence deserves a better, more user-friendly solution. As an app vendor we were thinking about whether it is worth to implement a streamlined solution. It would look something like this:

• There is a new Automation action which extracts content from the Confluence page and associates it with Smart Values. These data can come from:
  • Custom macros to include entire sections
  • Tables
• The new Smart Values can then be used in subsequent actions, for example, email notifications

Do you think this would have helped you solving the problem? Do you think it generates value for Confluence Cloud users?

Thanks!
