Copy comments from Jira to Confluence?

Question

Is it possible to copy Jira comments to a specific confluence page?

I want to document specific comments based on a keyword.

The trigger is: If a comment contains is added and it contains a specific keyword, then trigger the rule.

Copy the entire comment to a specific confluence page.

Each time the rule runs, the comments are added to the same page.

Hello @Gil Levy,

If you’re seeking for an easy way to copy Jira comments into Confluence pages, I suggest taking a look at our application Elements Publish.

With the app you can automatically create Confluence pages from Jira issues using recipes. It integrates with Automation and workflows with post-functions but it has many more features than the native solution.

You can check our guide here.

You can try the app for free during 30 days (and it stays free under 10 users).

Let me know if you have any question!
Kind regards,
Clara

In Jira Automation, you can trigger when an "Issue commented" event fires, and you have access to the comment body that you can evaluate with a "contains" condition, so we're two-thirds of the way there.

There's no automation action to update a page, so use the Confluence REST API to update a page. I think you'll need to trigger ScriptRunner or something similar to do this part.
