Automation rule to create meeting agenda pge

Girish Ravi

I am looking to create meeting agenda page automatically.
This automation may be used by multiple teams.

Background: team has meetings every week on a particular day. The agenda page has to be prepared before that so that team can update the contents. Now this is done manually every week after the meeting or later.
Want to automate this.

Expectations:

1. Rule should run on a particular day at a time - can use schedule trigger

2. Should copy the latest agenda page - either the one last updated or the one with the latest date in title

3. Create a page with the same meeting title and add the new date in title

4. Store the page under the same parent - so that team can update the contents

I tried branch and copy/move confluence options.

But not able to achieve the exact flow.

Any suggestions welcome.

Hi @Girish Ravi and welcome to Community!

I wrote an article about how I set up a fairly similar use case https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Confluence-articles/How-to-use-Confluence-Automation-to-create-a-page-amp-send-a/ba-p/3015372

I use a template in my automation rule, and I recommend you do the same, instead of copying the previous week's page (which will have lots of content from the previous week, plus makes building the rule really complicated).

As you see in my article, it's possible to configure the correct date to be added to the page title, you just need to use the correct smart value.
