Create child pages in confluence upon issue creation in jira

Question

I received a request from a client today which i have never had before. The client wants to use confluence to maintain project documentation and information. Their process is that when a project is initiated in their organization it must go through an intake process. This process is done through jira with a project as an issue type. the Request is that when they create a project issue in jira it automatically creates a child page in confluence. They also want to push project documentation to the associated project child page. Has anyone ever done this? If so can you tell me how?

Dear @Scott Federman,

have you figured out my solution? Do you need more help?

Dear @Scott Federman,

yes you can. Use WebHooks. You have to modify the "create" transition to fire a create event to some external 'glue' component, that creates the new confluence page with a link back to the issue.

I would estimate around 3d to implement.
