Automatically link the URL of a Confluence page to a Jira issue and vice versa.

Schuuudi

Hi there,

I have created an automation where I automatically create a Confluence page from a newly created Jira issue. Now I want to automatically link the Confluence URL in the Jira ticket using ‘Link Confluence Page.’ Afterwards, I also want the Confluence page to be automatically linked to the Jira ticket.

I am not a developer, and I have spent hours researching how to implement my idea using the ‘Send web requests’ automation – unfortunately, without success. Can someone give me an advice?

Thanks in advance :-)

Hi @Schuuudi ,

Yep, it seems like the automation is still limited in this area. I would love to see some movement on the jira<>confluence automations as I have a similar need for Post Incident Reviews in my current assignment.

Some workarounds have been suggested:

Creating a URL custom field in Jira and sticking the Page URL in this field instead of the standard linking behaviour - see here
Sending a webrequest (not accepted answer though) - see here

best regards

Hi,

I used this endpoint. https://[yoursite].atlassian.net/rest/confluenceIssueLink/1/confluence?issueId={{issue.id}}&pageUrl={{createdPage.url }}. Takes some time (2~10 minutes) for cloud to index the link. The link is created right away but based on my experience it does not open right away. Link Confluence from Jira Automation.png

It would be so cool if this works! I was trying it as well with the webrequest but for the life of me I couldn't figure out what to do with just the {{createdPage.url}} as output.

If your experience is that the URL might not work right away, in Cloud there is since very recently a 'Delay' option added, which would help avoid issues:
