Automated page approval process

Question

Hi,

We are looking for a solution to build an automated page approval process.

We want to set up a number of predefined editors in a space and when a user has created a draft the editors are responsible to review and approve/reject it. If the draft is approved it will be published automatically.

We have run a Trial for Approvals for Confluence but this app is not meeting our requirements and I can't found any app where we can configure predefined editors.

Hi @Susann Ivarsson

If you find that you don't need the full feature set offered by Comala Document Management, we also offer simpler workflow solutions that might be a better fit - namely, Comala Document Approval and Comala Document Control. There options are designed to cover more straightforward use cases while still providing the essential workflow functionality.

You can take a look at this feature comparison matrix, which outlines the differences between all our workflow apps to help you find the one that best suits your needs.

If yo'd like personalized guidance, feel free to open a ticket with us - one of our Solution Advisors would be happy to walk you through your use case and recommend the best option for your team.

Hope that helps!

Kind regards,

Oliver

Hi,

We are using Confluence Data Center and as far as I can see there is no automation plugin for it. The only app I can find that includes that feature is Comala Document Management and I find it very expensive for the function we need, an approval workflow with pre-configured approvers/reviewers. Confluence is used for teams to create, share and organize information for projects and knowledge management and I find it strange that there is no other solution than Comala Document to set up an approval workflow with pre-configured approvers/reviewers for all documents in a space. We don't want the users who created the drafts to add the approvers. We want it to be automated.

There are a few more options, just search for "approval" on the Atlassian Marketplace and filter the result to "Confluence" and "Data Center".
