Creating a new page based on a template with automation

Martin_ukbd1r

Hello there,

 

I am creating an automation to create a confluence page each time we move an epic from status A to status B. The creation works well but I need to get 2 step further.

First, I will need to create it into a folder (or group). Probably easy, I'll dig around the web.

Second, it's getting complicated. We made a template for the document to be created. How can I use this template as the document I am creating from the automation instead of a blank document? 

 

I followed the instructions here: Automating creation of a Jira ticket and linked Confluence page (atlassian.com)

Update

So I think I need to inject my template code inside the post automation. If that's right, could you tell me where I need to inject the code? 

Also, I have a goup of page called "Studies". Can I tell the POST to create that page into this section as a child page and not into the general section?

 

Thank you

Your Template should be in the Templates Section of your Space Settings.   It can have whatever content you want.  When the Rule in Jira fires, it will take your template and add a page under the parent you specify.   I don't know if you can then move it to a folder automatically... but the steps I've outlined here are I helped set up and is running at one of my clients.

 

 

 

Hope this helps but as old as the question is and as many views as it has had, I have to believe I glossed over something important that you asked  :-)
