How do you create a blog post with a label with a button?

[Scott Richmond]

I'm trying to setup a button that creates a blog post with a specific label from a page, so we can have WIP artwork posted with blogs and use blogfeeds.

But I cannot see how this is possible with Smart Buttons or with URL. Is it possible?

Hi @Scott Richmond ,

Smart buttons currently support only template flows which are visible in the right panel once you add this macro to a page. There's an open feature suggestion for connecting existing automation rules to smart buttons: CONFCLOUD-79704: Ability to set Custom Confluence Automation Rules to Smart Buttons 

As for Confluence automation, there's also no action for publishing a blog post (same as the one for pages). Here's a feature suggestion for it: CONFCLOUD-76656: Automation: Publish new post 

As a workaround, you could probably use Send web request action and REST API / Create blog post to create a blog post based on trigger event. 🤔

Cheers,
Tobi

Hi @Scott Richmond 

Welcome to the community.

You might be able to do that through an automation rule using the Send Web Request action and using the Confluence REST API for creating blog posts.

But I don't see options in the API to add a labels as well, so I don't think this is possible.
