How can I populate a confluence doc with all completed JIRA tickets from a release?

[Kira]

I need to streamline documentation, and want to populate a confluence doc with all completed JIRA tickets associated with specific releases.

What's the best way to set up that automation?

Hello @Kira 

Welcome to the Atlassian community!

Automation for Jira includes an Action for creating a Confluence page. You might be able to leverage some of the information from this article by @Esther Strom to help you get started.

The documentation can be found here:

You might want to use the Trigger for detecting a Version being Released.

Hi @Kira

Do you have a Confluence page already set up that you'd like the tickets to populate in?

Or would you prefer to have a Confluence page created with automation as @Trudy P Claspill has alluded to?

Happy to help with the former if that's your goal :)

Hey Samuel,

I really appreciate the quick response. Ideally I'm looking for an automated method, HOWEVER, I am a novice with JIRA automation and don't know JQL, so I would love to hear your approach as well!

Warmly,

Thanks @Kira

You can embed Jira issues in you Confluence pages using the Jira macro you'll find by typing / as shown below:

Alternatively, you can use the insert function as shown below:

Using this tool you can display your issues in Confluence, here's an example of a table to display some dummy issues.

If you would like some assistance in constructing your JQL please reach out :)

@Kira I forgot to point out that, from an automated perspective, these issues will populate with whatever you define in the JQL query. "Automatically updating" if you like :)

Thank you- I really appreciate it!
