How to automatically create a confluence page based of a template when a jira subtask is created and also link to it, through a custom script in script runner?

Shagufta Gurmuk

I have a groovy script in which I am dynamically creating subtasks based on some conditions. I want each of these subtasks to have a link to a confluence page automatically created, from a template(which I have already created). How do I do that? No other add-on than script runner is allowed. I have seen many such questions online, but none of them provide with a way to do it with scriptrunner and using a confluence template .

Confluence still hasn't exposed the Template feature to the REST API - This is probably why you don't see any documentation on this topic.

This leaves a few options –

Hardcode the HTML for the page within your groovy script
Copy an existing page within Confluence, within your groovy script
Use ScriptRunner for Confluence to expose the Template feature to REST API and then leverage it within your groovy script

Can you please give an example of how the 3rd option can be done?

I believe if Jenkins is being used via some integration Jenkins can be used to trigger a page from template.. I don't have the details to hand. Though know it's possible..

Hi all!

I have the same problem and so little information on this subject. Shagufta, tell me please, do you resolve your task?

So, it sounds like you need to do two things when the sub-task is created:

1) Create a new page from a template in Confluence

There does appear to be a REST endpoint in Confluence's API that lets you create an instance of a template with a POST request. You can call it using the app link configuration; see the documentation on interacting with other Atlassian apps.

If Confluence's current REST endpoint doesn't cut it, you could use ScriptRunner for Confluence to add a scripted REST Endpoint that you can call from JIRA.

2) Link the sub-task to the newly created Confluence page

You could simply embed a JIRA macro in the new Confluence page. Assuming JIRA and Confluence are linked, this should create a remote link in JIRA as well. See the docs on interacting with confluence from JIRA.

You could also create the remote link inside JIRA using the Java API for it.

Hey sweet! That Template API is new!

Edit: Oh BOO it's Cloud-only for now.

Bummer! Just to clarify, do you have ScriptRunner for Confluence, or just ScriptRunner for JIRA? Because if you've got SR for confluence, I believe you can create a page from a template via the Java API using the CreatePageFromTemplateAction class... don't have an example handy, but I can cook one up if SR for Conf is an option for you.

I'd love to explain my use-case if you have some time, even just to share. If, of course, you talking to me? smile

Has anyone found a REST or Scriptrunner solution for this yet?

Hi Shagufta

We launched a new app that allows you to create pages from templates through Jira Workflow post-function and store the Confluence page in a Jira customfield to apply more actions like:
