Automatic notifications to changes to pages

[Bronwyn Marshall]

Is there a way to automatically send a team a message about updates that have been done to a page instead of them having to update their email settings?

The Better Content Archiving app incorporates a flexible notification feature that fits this use case!

You can set up a custom notification that is started periodically, runs a CQL search and emails the resulted page list in a customizable email to the recipient. Recipients can be configured as part of the notification, so there is no need for your users to explicitly subscribe to anything.

In fact, I am using it, for example, to get the list of the page updated the previous day and to get the list of the pages that changed their status the previous day! Something like this:

(Discl. it is a paid and supported app developed by our team. Free for 10 users!)

Hi @Bronwyn Marshall and welcome to Community.

Have you tried adding team members as watchers to the pages? If colleagues have unsubscribed from Confluence notifications because of too many emails, they may find it better to edit their autowatch settings.

When you mention 'send a team a message', are you thinking a Microsoft Teams or Slack message? You could use Confluence Automation to trigger posts to those when a page is updated.
