"Create Confluence page" automation with for blog post instead space page

[Kerli Loopman]

I want to make an automation with weekly scheduled trigger, that creates new Confluence blog post on a certain template with title containing next weeks dates. 

I read Use Jira automation with Confluence | Cloud automation Cloud | Atlassian Support tutorial, but it doesn't say anything about blog posts. 

I tried an automation, but it allows to create page but not blog post, as I can't see blogs parent pages in option.

Is it possible to create a blog post instead of page to Confluence with automation?

Thanks!

Hello @Kerli Loopman 

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.

Thanks! Will try that.
