 Hey @corinne goodman 

Yes, you can include both which page was deleted and who deleted it in a Confluence Cloud automation rule:

How to set it up

1. Create a rule with the Trigger → Page deleted (runs when a page is sent to the trash). This trigger exposes the {{page}}, {{content}}, and {{space}} smart-value objects.

2. In your notification action (e.g., Send email or Send Slack message), use smart values:

   • Page info: {{page.title}}, {{page.url}}, {{space.name}}

   • Deleted by (the user who performed the delete): {{initiator.fullName}} (and optionally {{initiator.emailAddress}})
     These smart values are listed in the Confluence automation docs. 
     
     

3. Pick your action: Send email or Send Slack message (both are supported actions in Confluence automation).

Example (email or Slack message) 

Subject: Page deleted: {{page.title}} ({{space.name}})

Body:
• Page: {{page.title}}
• Link: {{page.url}}
• Deleted by: {{initiator.fullName}} ({{initiator.emailAddress}})

That’s it—each time a page is deleted you’ll get who did it and the page details in your notification.

Hope this helps!
