Embedding a clickable hyperlink in comments created by an automation

Kit Friend_kfjbwi

As a final step in a Confluence Automation flow I'm trying to include a comment which allows users to immediately click and find all the Jira Product Discovery tickets that it's created.

I can successfully get it to create the URL which includes the {{page.url}} as the source...

...BUT I can't get it to include that URL as a hyperlink in the comment it posts in Confluence.

Any ideas how I can amend the Automation rule so that the comment's included URL is clickable?

BONUS: If anyone has a better idea for 'show me the tickets that Rovo has created based on the page' than stamping in the page URL to the description I'd love to hear

Hrm, this works for Jira, what about Confluence?

This should be a [link to Google|https://google.com]

Nope.

Well, that sucks. Sorry,

Hi @Kit Friend

unfurtunately the atlassian suggested way doesn´t work

found this documenation and it worked in my automation rule:

https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/#formatting-links

should be:

[shown string](http://yoururl.com)

[GooGLe](www.google.com)

or simly the url encapsuled in <>

<http://url.bla&gt;

Hope this works for you.

WOW, that's an amazing find Stefan. Also, Atlassian's inconsistency is super-annoying. :-P
