Automation on editPage not showing the user results

Christian Humer

Hello 
I added a integration with webhook. And if someone edits a page I want to show the user who edited the page on a company channel. But the smart tags mentioned in confluence Automation smart tags don't work.

Here is the string I want to build:

*Hey Team:* There is a new update at space *{{space.name}}*, on the page *{{page.title}}*! You can open the page here: {{page.url}} ! Variables to test: {{user.publicName}} {{user.fullName}} {{user.emailAddress}}

The first part is working but all smartvalues with user.* are not shown in the output and they are empty

Hey Team: There is a new update at space Atlassian Cloud Space, on the page Education! You can open the page here: URL
Variables to test:

It would be great id someone finds out why this is not working

Hi @Christian Humer 

Mainly the context of the smart valur refers to the trigger of an automation. Incase of „edit page“ this would be {{page}}. In case of eg. „user mentioned“ it would be {{user}}.
It seems the user is not in the context/information of the trigger event (if it is native „page edit“ trigger).

 

You mentioned that you added a webhook. Whwre does your webhook come from? Furthermore could you show your automation rule for further details? 

In case you are using a webhook trigger could you please add a „log action“ and log the ouput of {{webhookData}} ? We could then see the payload/data that is sent by the webhook and find out if it contains user information.

Best
Stefan
