Automation for pages moved into a space, but not within that space.

Allie Deleon

Desired: 

• Set up automation for pages moved into particular space
• Do not fire off the automation when pages are moved within that space. 

Current state: 

• I have Page moved trigger -> If {{space.url}} = desiredSpaceUrl -> Then take desired actions.
• But this is also firing off when pages are moved within the space, which is not desired. 

Any advice on how to isolate the automation to pages moved into the space, not within?

Hi @Allie Deleon -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Short answer: the page history does not include information about moves and so this may not be possible.

 

After a quick test, it does not appear that page moves are recorded in the version history available to the REST API endpoint...and so not to rules as a changelog entry.

Checking the public backlog, I found a suggestion to add this from almost 20 years ago: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-5231

 

Kind regards,
