Sending page content notification from plugin changes e.g. confiforms

[AquaNeno]

Hello community, we're using confiforms a lot for gathering structured data from our colleagues. While most of the team is fine with notifications from confiforms webhooks in slack and ms teams I'm still looking for a way to generate generic confluence notifications for changes within confiforms as it was a change on the page itself.

As workaround we're using a IFTTT Rule to create a comment on the page and an additional scriptrunner event listener to detect this comment and delete it. This workaround needs a lot of ressources and is very fragile. 

Is there anybody out there with a smarter way to generate notifications when a plugin/macro on a page is changed instead the page itself?

Thanks a lot

Cornelius

Thank you for your trust in ConfiForms and very glad to hear you are using it a lot!

ConfiForms has a way of sending in-app notifications - https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Configuring+ConfiForms+IFTTT+actions+and+rules#ConfiguringConfiFormsIFTTTactionsandrules-SendNotification 

Unless these are not disabled in your Confluence

Have you tried to use those?

This was a classic RTFM problem....

I've seen this option, but was mislead through the recipients option description as list of users and tried to figure out how to access watchers as a metadata from the current page. With your hint i've seen the direct reference [watchers].

Thanks a lot for your quick reply and this great plugin!
