URL or hyperlink to page creation via template

Matthew Arno

Hi - I'd like to use a hyperlink in Excel to automatically create a page in Confluence using a template. Currently I have a button on a Confluence page that uses a template to create a new page. Clicking this button goes to a URL that guides the creation of a page in a certain space using the template ID. e.g. https://[confluence]/?templateId=65175583&spaceKey=[spaceID]&newSpaceKey=[spaceID]&title=GPYYNNNN

 

**I have replaced the actual address and space keys with [dummy IDs]**.

 

I copy this link and paste it into Excel but when I click on it, instead of opening a new page using the indicated template, it opens an 'updates' page on confluence (#all-updates). Does the URL only work as part of a clicked button on a page?

 

Cheers,

Matt

Hi Matthew,

The button has some extra code in there to help it run, but it looks like it ultimately redirects to a different URL:

https://[confluence]/pages/createpage-entervariables.action?templateId=65175583&spaceKey=[spaceID]&title=GPYYNNNN&newSpaceKey=[spaceKey]

I tested this, and it seems to work for me. Give it a try and let us know how it goes!

Kind Regards,

Jason
