Automation Confluence trigger if page or also subpages were changed

[Alexander Pappert]

Hi,

I want to implement the same automation rule on a confluence page and all its subpages.

But I can only find page related triggers, is it possible to also watch the corresponding subpages?

Hi @Alexander Pappert 

First thing, I am not using Confluence automation rules currently, and so my suggestions are based on what I recall and find in the documentation.  With that out of the way...

I wonder, could you use a branch on CQL, checking if the parent (or ancestor) is the trigger page?

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi @Bill Sheboy 
in jira I sue branches, but the rule trigger is when main issue is changed and then the rule check branches.
I would need a trigger on main page that is also triggered when one of the many child pages was changed, but I couldn't find it yet.

Thanks for clarifying, and I believe you would need two rules: one triggered on a parent change (which would find children of that parent) and one triggered on a child (which would find siblings through the parent).

Hi Alexander - I am not aware of being able to apply that down to the subpages also.
