Force-subscribe users to watch all blogs in a space

Ann Marie Guzzi

Hi there,

At an old company, we used a locally hosted version of Confluence. There, I was able to force subscribe users to watch all blog posts in space. We were using the blog to communicate product releases.

I'm at a new company that uses the cloud version of Atlassian products, and this feature seems to not be available. I can either subscribe someone to the whole space or to a single page. However, I don't seem to be able to subscribe someone to just the blog posts in the space. Is there a way to do this? Or a workaround?

Hi @Ann Marie Guzzi Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You can restrict a blog post so that it is only available to specific users or groups. So you can create a group in confluence eg: Blog-watchers, and add users to that group. When you create blog posts, just add view access to this group (eg: Blog-watchers) so that they get notifications about it.

Hi @Kishan Sharma , this isn't what I meant unfortunately. I don't want to restrict the blog post - I just want to be able to "force" basically all of our users to watch a blog space, in order to use it for effective communications.

When you say all users do you mean all the confluence users in your site ? If yes, then you can add view permissions to "confluence-users" group in your space containing the blog. This way they will get the notifications whenever a new blog is published.

Ann Marie Guzzi

Yeah, but won't that update them whenever any updates to the space are made, and not just to the blog? I just want them to get notified when a new BLOG is posted, not when any changes are made to the space.

@Ann Marie Guzzi Could you please let me know how you were able to force subscribe users to a blog in a Confluence space when the instance was locally hosted?

Thank you,

Sara

I really needs this too... as described by Ann Marie Guzzi in a comment dated Sep 14, 2021. Basically I think Ann Marie is asking for a Space Admin level permission to force user to the yellow highlighted option. The one highlighted in green is a setting I like to have space admin override permission. Sometimes content in the space SHOULD NOT BE COPIED TO AN EMAIL!!!
