How to Automate Task Creation in Jira from Confluence Pages?

[Sharif yt]

I’m trying to set up an automation where tasks in Jira are automatically created whenever someone adds a new page in Confluence. The idea is that each new Confluence page becomes a task in a specific Jira project with some metadata (title, author, date).

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

• Using Confluence + Jira Automation rules (but I couldn’t find a trigger for “New Page Created”)

• Webhooks from Confluence to Jira (but I’m unsure how to format the JSON payload correctly)

• Third-party add-ons like Automation for Jira and Unito (but some only support updates or crawling pages, not real-time creation)

Questions I have:

1. Is there a built-in “Page Created” trigger in Confluence Automation or Jira Automation?

2. What’s the best way to parse page metadata (title, author) from the webhook or REST API?

3. Has anyone built a flow like this already—sharing your rule setup or blueprint would be super helpful.

4. Any rate limit or permission issues you’ve faced when working with these inter-product automations?

Thanks in advance! Looking forward to your suggestions and best practices

Hello @Sharif yt ,

Good day, Welcome to Atlassian Community!

While it is possible, I will be very much interested to know, why do you need to create a ticket for each page published in Confluence, why don't you use Confluence Database to store these information 

To Answer your questions

1. Is there a built-in “Page Created” trigger in Confluence Automation or Jira Automation?
   Answer: Yes, it is called Page Published
   
   

2. What’s the best way to parse page metadata (title, author) from the webhook or REST API?
   You can use, send webrequest using Automation for Jira and use smart values to parse the required information
   
   

3. Has anyone built a flow like this already—sharing your rule setup or blueprint would be super helpful.

4. Any rate limit or permission issues you’ve faced when working with these inter-product automations?
   Answer: As per my knowledge, the limitation is mostly based on your tier of License (Standard/Premium/ Enterprise)

Hi @Sharif yt and welcome to Community.

You mention trying Automation for Jira as a third party add-on, which is the case for Jira on premise, but not for Cloud (where it's integrated in the product). Are you by chance using Jira and Confluence Data Center?
