Use scriptrunner to invoke Confluence template

Jean-Michel Rottiers

We are evaluating scriptrunner to perform Jira/Confluence integration and I'm new to ScriptRunner/Groovy

Goal is to create a set of confluence pages when a jra issue is created

I'm able to create a basic page when jira issue is created, but I would like to create the confluence page using a confluence template

If not possible to use a confluence template then is it possible to include one HTML template in a groovy script?

Thank you for your help/input

Hello Jean-Michel.

I suppose that you own SR for both Confluence and JIRA. 

If that is the case, then you need the following setup:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

In Confluence:

1. A REST endpoint that can be called from JIRA. This REST endpoint should take an argument, which should be the ID, or the name of the template you want to use.

This can be achieved easily with SR for JIRA, and you can find documentation on that here. The only thing you need is to find the ID of the template you want to use.

In JIRA:

2. A Script Listener that catches onIssueCreated events and triggers the endpoint with the correct name.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The workflow would act like so:

1. The issue in JIRA is created.
2. The listener picks up the event, and selects a template.
3. The listener triggers the REST endpoint in Confluence, passing as a parameter or as a JSON the name of the template to use.
4. The rest endpoint in Confluence searches for the template ID associated with the name passed.
5. The rest endpoint triggers the creation of the Confluence page.

If you have a more specific question please let us know.

Cheers!
