Trying to create a smart button that creates a Jira issue in confluence

colin mcdermott August 4, 2025

Trying out Confluence Cloud Automation. 

 

I have a very simple request:

Create a page with a "smart button" that can create an issue in Jira. 

Yet what I find is:

When I add a smart button, I need to add a "template" (automation template, not page template). From that template I only see tasks that create 3 things. Not the one thing. So users create a Jira issue + Label + another confluence Page!

I can also click "..." -> Automation and then click on my rule. But I just want users to do one simple click. 

I can make an automation that is "manually triggered" but that manual trigger doesn't seem to be done from adding a button. 

Lastly the "+" Create Jira issue. Just creates 1 static issue on the page. 

 

Why can't Smart buttons just run an Automation rule?    I want the kitchen sink, not the whole Kitchen.
