Jira Automation: Linking a Confluence page with Jira issues

[#1]

This article helps build a solution using Jira Automation and Confluence REST API to link a newly created Confluence page with a Jira issue.
For instance, When a confluence page is created using Jira Automation, the page link should be added to the Jira issue.

Adding the Confluence page link into the Jira issue.

This can be done using the Create or update remote issue link API endpoint, here's an example of the request:

URL: https://<SITE_URL>/rest/api/3/issue/{{issue.key}}/remotelink
Method: POST

Web request body:
{
 "object": {
        "title": "{{issue.key}} {{issue.summary}}",
        "url": "{{createdPage.url}}"
           }
}

Headers:

• Accept: application/json

• Content-Type: application/json

• Authorization: Basic <encoded Email:APIToken>
  For more details on how to encode the credentials, please check this article: Automation for Jira - Send web request using Jira REST API

Alternatively, you can add the smart value that includes the page URL in a comment or a field:

{{createdPage.url}}

Jira Automation: Updating a Confluence page with information from Jira issues

[Carlos Adrián Peréz Díaz]

Hi, I'm basically trying to link a confluence link into a jira issue via automation as well. I have followed all the steps as described above, however I'm getting the following message:

ERROR 404

{
  "errorMessages": [
    "Issue does not exist or you do not have permission to see it."
  ],
  "errors": {}
}

I've permission and access and edit the Jira issue. Any clue where the error could be? 

Thanks in advance.
