Using confluence to document approvals.

lance_lyons

Hi, We have a group that has release certification details they post on a confluence page. Typically for a release certification, it requires a set of approvals from some folks on the management team. These approvals come from the management team in the form of email approvals. Is there a way to attach these approvals to the confluence page automatically when the manager replies to the email with "approve"?

Also the certification team would like an email back when all the managers required have approved. Is something like this possible out of confluence?

Would we be better off integrating in Jira and have the approval process in Jira and attach the Jira issue link on the confluence page?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

I would suggest using Comala Wokflows for this. Another possibility would be the Page Approval Plugin.

Is this the kind of thing you are looking for?

Hi Davin,

I know this post is pretty old, but I am interested in this exact type of plugin. Is there a reason why it isn't available for cloud instances?

Hi Mark Bishop

this macro may help you for approval

I added the Page Approval plug in. It is free. Does require going to developers web site to get the license key, but not a big deal if you follow the instructions. Adds a new Page Approval macro that you can insert into your page. Works great.

It seems that the cloud version does not hold the page from being published until approval. Does any plugin do this that you know of? General question to anyone. Thanks in advance.

Hi @Barb O_Connell

You’re correct that, due to constraints in Atlassian’s Cloud APIs, we aren’t able to offer the same functionality in the Comala Document Control Cloud that we do for Server / Data Center customers. We are actively working towards a solution, and hope to have something we can share before too long.

Kind regards
