Automating document creation on confluence based on JIRA activities.

[Sherwin Ramezani]

Hi all, 

To preface, I'm using JIRA cloud and confluence.

I'm trying to automate the creation of confluence documents based on my activities on JIRA.

For example, if I create a new epic on JIRA, I expect confluence to automatically create a new page with a template applied.

If I fill out a custom field on the same epic titled "Background Information", the document will be updated with the same information.

Furthermore, adding tasks/user stories linked to the epic should also appear in the same document.

Any idea if something like this is possible using my current suite of applications? 

Thanks in advance for the help. 

Edit: I'm also using a NG board , though also have access to a classic one if its only possible to do using that.

Hello Sherwin,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Reading the details you provided, I'm afraid that currently, it's not possible to automatically create Confluence pages with activities made in Jira.

From a ticket, it's possible to create a new article, but it will copy the title and nothing else.

If you have any other questions regarding this matter, please let us know.

Regards,
Angélica

in the Automation, you can use the command When: Value changes for then select a command for your conditions, then use Then:Create page in Confluence command.  

This will let you create a confluence page.  (Note: you have to create a template first in Confluence as you will be nominating this page to be created into the format you want). This is only good for the creation of page, but if you want all fields/ activities to be reflected inside the template, then I am not sure into that direction yet.
