Rules for each new folder in spaces?

Petra Keiser

Hi,

I would like to create a structure for my folders in my spaces under "content". Is there a way to maybe add rules so that every time a sub-folder is created to a main-folder, it automatically creates a set of pages within that sub-folder for the user to fill out? 

For example, I have a main-folder "Food diary" and I create a sub-folder to it named "Weekly meals February". When I create a new sub-folder for each month it automatically adds spaces for "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", etc. so I don't have to repeat the work manually each month.

Is there a way to achieve this in confluence?

Thanks for the help!

Hi @Petra Keiser -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I believe that is possible using an automation rule, and it is a bit complicated...

While there is a Folder Created trigger to start the rule, and its identifier may be found with {{folder.id}} one may not branch to it (even with CQL) to add the pages under it.

A possible workaround is using the Send Web Request action to call the REST API endpoint to create the page, passing the folder's identifier as the parent.

Kind regards,
Bill
