Can I add watchers in bulk to a space?

Question

As an admin I don't have any good way to notify all my Jira/Confluence users about upcoming changes. I'd like to make them all watchers to our blog, but I don't see any way to add a group of users to the Watch function. Is there a trick I've missed in the doc?

Hi @Tracy B

We can achieve this via API. In UI it is not possible.

https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-confluence/REST/6.6.0/#user/watch-addSpaceWatch

Get the list of users you want to add to space and call API at once

Thanks,
