Automatically Create Issue Page in Confluence Under the Sprint Parent Page

Vitalii Mural_bvw6u5

I'm trying to make an automation that will:

1. Create a Confluence page when creating a new Jira sprint.
2. Create a Confluence page when creating a new issue under the page that's related to this sprint.

For example:

1. I create Sprint 1 in Jira
2. It automatically creates Sprint 1 page in Confluence
3. I create Issue1 under Sprint 1 in Jira
4. It automatically creates an Issue1 page in Confluence under the Sprint 1 one.

So far I managed to make automation for creating a Confluence page automatically when a Jira sprint is created. What should be the next steps to create automation that creates a new issue page under the parent sprint page?

Hi @Vitalii Mural -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

First thing: when do you want to create those issue pages in Confluence?

If they are created as soon as an issue is added to a sprint, there could be quite a bit of "churn" when issues are added / removed from sprints.  Thus requiring either manual cleanup or, with more risk, automated deletion of unneeded pages.

 

Next, I do not believe the Create Page action allows dynamic selection of the parent page, and thus your second rule to add the page will need to call the REST API with the Send Web Request action.  Here are the references needed to do that:

Kind regards,
