Creating confluence page from through jira automation with Jira issue Link

[Sakina]

I want to create a Confluence page for the issue when it is created, I want to add that page as a link to my Jira Issue, and i want to achieve these using automation

Hello @Sakina 

If you don't mind using an add-on, Elements Publish to Confluence lets you do exactly what you are asking.

Full disclosure: I'm the Product Manager of the app.

With our app you can create Confluence pages from Jira issues. It integrates with Automation, but in addition to the native feature you can : 

• insert any Jira issue data in the Confluence page (and keep the value synchronized between the issue and the page if needed)
• use any Confluence template you need or design the page yourself
• automatically link the page to the issue
• automatically copy attachments from Jira to Confluence

The app is free for 30 days, (and stays free if your instance is under 10 users), so feel free to give it a try, and don't hesitate to tell reach our Support if you have any question.

Kind regards,

Julien

Julien Peyrade @ Elements  thanks for the suggestion i tried the tool , i was not able to add jira issue link to confluence form which it was created. is these functionality missing or i missed something.

I was able to create confluence pages from my issue and also confluence page links appeared in my Jira issue. but On confluence page which was created a i m not getting jira issue Links

Hello @Sakina 

Creating a link in the Confluence page to the Jira issue is only possible within the content of the page.

If you want to insert this link in the page, you should use the "Link to source issue" option in the "Insert" menu of your recipe, and place it anywhere in your page.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Julien

Julien Peyrade @ Elements  one more question is it possible to use confluence macros in  Design your own page option.. i want to add multiple attachment macros to the page

[Julien Peyrade @ Elements]

@Sakina 

If you want to use Confluence macros, you need to create your pages from a Confluence template.

There is no downside in using this option : you can create Confluence templates from scratch if you need to, and then use them in Elements Publish. You will even have access to more options, such as Confluence macros.

but  then i will not be able to add link to source issue

[Julien Peyrade @ Elements]

Don't worry, you can. As I said, there is no downside in using templates.

To insert Jira data into a template, you need to use the Elements Publish macro : 

And then you can insert the link to the issue, just like you do in the app :

Julien Peyrade @ Elements  i have notice one more thing if i enable copy attachments from my source issue , it only attach the attachment that are present when recipe is trigger. if later on any attachment are added on jira issue they are not sync. is there possibility we might have this feature on future roadmap 

[Julien Peyrade @ Elements]

Hello @Sakina 

That's a great suggestion, I will definitively take it into consideration.

Thank you for your input.
