Is it possible to predefine a mention in a blueprint or template?

Per-Åge Themte

Hi,

I'm creating a checklist for on- and offboarding of employees, and I'd like to create a template as a tasklist with pre-defined responsible parties. If I could hardcode user mentions in the template, those persons would automatically get notified when a page was created and they where given a task.

Is something like that possible? And if not - have you any suggestions for a workaround?

Hello there! Thanks for sharing your question with the Community.

Could you clarify a few points for us:

1. Are you able to create new Page Templates in Confluence?
2. Is your Confluence instance Cloud or Server?

Nonetheless, you should be able to insert mentions on a Page Template. For Confluence Server, you could follow like this:

1. Click Cog Icon > General Configuration
2. Search for Global Templates and Blueprints
3. Edit (or create) the desired Template
4. Add the mention to the desired user
5. Save the template

When you create a page using this template, the mention should be automatically inserted in the page.

For Confluence Cloud you can follow like this:

1. Click the Cog Icon on the left bar
2. Search for Global Templates and Blueprints
3. Edit (or create) the desired Template
4. Add the mention to the desired user
5. Save the template

The results should be the same as what we get in Confluence Server!

Let us know your results!
