is there a way to schedule notification / text

[david cockrell]

Dear Community,

I wonder if anyone has an idea how to do the following:

we need to schedule the update some some text (a couple of sentences) within a Confluence page or in a banner 

(This is a notification text on the top of a page that indicates who is allowed to edit the page.)

for example on Sep 1st the text should be set to "ABC" on Oct-1at the test should change to "DEF" on Nov-1st the text should change again to "GHI" etc for one year in advance. 

We would prefer doing this without without connecting to Rest API

Any ideas?

Hi @david cockrell ,

If it happens so that you use Table Filter, Charts & Spreadsheets for Confluence (that is our app), you may use its Table Transformer macro to compare today's date with your specific date list and show relevant text.

If you are not familiar with the app, you may book a live call with the team.

If you do have the add-on but need some guidance, you may refer to our support.

Hi,
That is great to know.
We have recently installed the Table Filter plugin.
I am not yet familiar with it. I will check it out and try to figure how to use it for scheduling notes

Hi @Stiltsoft support ,

Thanks for all the advice!

I tried to check the "Table Transformer" macro how to get the following behavior: 

>Currently no message should be shown.
>On September 1st the following message should appear on the page: "Edit open for September"

>On October 1st the message should be replaced with: "Edit open for September"

I wonder if you would be so kind as to walk me through the steps to get this example done via the macro.
Do I need to use the SQL query option for this? (sorry for not being technical enough)

Regards,

David

I think you can easily develop a custom macro with ScriptRunner, for example. The problem doesn't sound very complicated, so the code required may as short as a few lines.

I am quite sure that there are other apps that allow "macros with logic", but SR may be the most widely used one.

Thanks Aron, 
I suspect that this is option is blocked for end-users on our instance.
