Confluence Automation doesn't work when the page uses a template

Question

I'm using the automation that adds a label to a page when the criteria are met (after you publish a page).

As you can see below, this works the first time when I'd created a new page, entered the title Strategy2 and published.

The second time when created a new page, selected a template, entered the title Strategy2 and published, it did not work and No Actions Performed.

Any help would be appreciated!

Looks like you're using the Page Published trigger. This trigger only fires when the page is created the first time. Instead, suggest using the Page Edited trigger. This fires each time a change is made.

@Barbara Szczesniak Hi Barbara. Good idea but I did consider this and deleted the page in between each test.

In fact Confluence wouldn't let me publish a page with the same name as an existing page, which is how I know I deleted it. Thanks for the suggestion nonetheless, this is my first time playing with Automation so I'm not much further ahead than you!

@Callum Long Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Let me start by saying that I have no experience using Confluence Automation. Something occurred to me while reading your question, though, so I will ask for this clarification that may then help someone familiar with automation answer you:

Are you naming your new page with the same exact title as the first page?

If so, you may be having an issue because you cannot have 2 pages with the same name in the same space—it may be interfering with Confluence seeing it as a new page.
