Confluence notifications for Teams channel?

[Connor]

Is it possible to configure the Confluence Cloud for Microsoft Teams app to send notifications to Teams channels? I want to notify a channel every time a new page is added to a Space. Maybe I've missed a setting but it doesn't appear possible.

Can someone confirm whether it's possible or not? And if not possible, is this feature on the roadmap?

Hey @Connor 

You cannot setup notifications directly to a Teams channel with the Confluence Cloud integration currently.

You can 'pin a tab' to a channel and add that Confluence page to the top of the channel and that should encourage folks to take a look!

Channel notifications are not currently on the roadmap due to the use case of informing a team of updates to a Confluence page is relatively uncommon but we would love to hear more about your use case!

We've found that encouraging folks to 'watch' a page and then use the personal notifications functionality to stay up to date solves the majority of use cases.

Thanks,

Tony

Thanks for the information Tony, even if it was disappointing. 

My use case is I want to notify a Teams channel every time a new page is created in a specific space.

Thanks for letting us know! @Connor We appreciate your request and will consider it for future developments.

Hi There,

I have exactly the same use case and would love to hear about a future implementation, thanks

Hi, here is a use case:

We have Confluence spaces for different products. For each product, we blog about new features and updates (and other things). To avoid that visitors have to go to separate product spaces, we are collecting blog posts with label "X" on a separate Confluence page using the blog post macro.

Watching this new combined page does not trigger notifications to watchers, as updates happen within the macro and not on the page itself.

But I know that the relevant audience is using an MS Teams channel, and I would like to inform them automatically about the news.

So the idea was to set up an automation (like in Jira Automation) that posts through an MS Teams webhook under the conditions I'm defining. (Example:
if blog post in space "A, B and C" with label "X" - then post to webhook)

Update: Never mind - found the automation. Thanks

@Baltrusch_ Sven What was the solution you found?

[Baltrusch_ Sven]

The automation in Confluence. When a blog post is created, and it matches space 1,2,3 and it has labels A, B, C, then send a MS Teams message using a webhook.

HI @Connor 

Thanks for writing.

You can setup notification about new page create with a parent page filter using Advanced Microsoft Teams Confluence Connector or Microsoft Teams Confluence Connector Lite.

You can configure this on the space and global levels.

Please let us know if you need further help.

Regards,

Leo

You will be able to do so using webhooks, once Automation for Confluence goes out of Early Access Preview into General Availability some time this year :)

Is this still the case? Trying to push notifications to teams from my confluence pages and struggling to do so with all these supposed connectors.
