Confluence page suggestions on Jira Task based on key words

Question

I'm looking for a way to automatically suggest or populate Confluence pages in Jira tasks based on title matching.

Use case: When someone creates a Jira task titled "Login performance issues", I want Jira to automatically find and display related Confluence pages (e.g., "Login troubleshooting", "Performance optimization") in the "Confluence content" field on that task.

Example:

* User creates Jira task: "Database connection timeout"
* Jira automatically searches Confluence for matching pages
* Finds pages titled: "Database troubleshooting guide", "Connection pooling best practices", "Performance tuning"
* Automatically displays these pages in the "Confluence content" field on the task (not in comments)
* Developer can read/edit these pages directly in Jira without switching tabs

What I'm looking for:

* Is there a built-in Jira Cloud feature that does automatic title-based matching between Jira tasks and Confluence pages?
* Is there a Marketplace app that provides this functionality?
* Can the "Confluence content" field be auto-populated via Jira Automation or REST API with matching Confluence pages?

Context: I used to have this feature at a previous company and I'm trying to recreate it in our current Jira Cloud instance.

Hey @Hamza Bounaim , On top of what Gor said, you could try using Rovo, BUT I still don't think this will be able to create a direct link in the "Confluence content" section of the work item. 🫤 What I was thinking is to use automation + Rovo/Rovo agent to scan the summary and find related content, and then suggest or add it to the work item. Still, I think the only way would be through comments or by updating some rich text field, as automation still doesn't support populating the Confluence section of the work item: CONFCLOUD-80013: Improve Create Confluence Page action in A4J - automatically link the Confluence page to the Jira issue and/or be able to access the page/URL via smart values 👀 And as for the REST API, you can try this: Web Link vs. Confluence Content When you create a link via the API, Jira determines where to display it based on the globalId and relationship fields: * Web Link: If you only provide a URL and title, Jira treats it as a generic external link and places it in the "Web links" section. * Confluence Content: If you provide a globalId that includes a valid appId (your Confluence Application ID) and a pageId, Jira recognizes it as a native integration. This triggers the link to appear in the dedicated Confluence content section with the official Confluence icon. Why the globalId is Critical The globalId acts as a unique identifier that tells Jira, "This isn't just a website; it's a specific page on a trusted Atlassian application." The format must be exactly: "globalId": "appId=&pageId=". Without the appId portion of the globalId, Jira cannot verify the link against your Application Links settings, so it defaults to displaying it as a standard web link. Summary of Requirements for the "Confluence" UI To ensure the link populates the correct section, your POST request to /rest/api/3/issue/{issueKey}/remotelink must include: * globalId: Containing both appId and pageId. * application.type: Set to com.atlassian.confluence. * relationship: Set to Wiki Page. Note: the suggestions above for REST API are purely AI-generated, so I cannot confirm that they would work Cheers, Tobi

Hi @Hamza Bounaim

Jira Cloud does not natively support that. You can try these marketplace apps:

* https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1221971/pageify-for-jira-automate-pages
* https://deviniti.com/support/addon/cloud/advanced-confluence-integration/latest/parent-page/

or

* Smart Links / Embedded Pages: Apps in this category display an inline Confluence preview directly inside Jira fields without requiring context switches.
* You can build a native rule via Jira Cloud Automation using a web request to search Confluence and store the matching page URLs
