Create confluence page action

[Thomas Anderson]

Is there a way to have Automation create a confluence page automatically when a criteria is met? I'm wanting to automate creating a page when a new story is created in Jira

Hi Thomas,

Might be a bit late to respond but new feature for creatinn Confluence pages was introduced in automation A4J: Use-jira-automation-with-confluence 

Hope that helps!

The other option apart from the answer Meg provided is to use Scriptrunner - you can simply use a post-function to interact with confluence and create a page once a story is created.

It doesn't take much programming to accomplish either.

The other benefit of this is you will have Scriptrunner at your disposal for the future, it is a very valuable tool in Jira's arsenal. 

Hope i managed to provide another approach to resolve your issue.

Agreed, another tool that is invaluable to admins!

Hi Thomas,

Meg, above, is quite right and her alternatives are spot on. 

We (Automation for Jira) don't support this yet, but we're already tracking this at https://codebarrel.atlassian.net/browse/AUT-269 (you may have to log out or use an Incognito window to view this).

We've got quite a few higher priority items in our backlog at the moment so it will be a while before we can get to this, but we'll let you know when we get a chance to work on this.

Cheers!

John

Creating a confluence page is not an existing function of Automation as far as I am aware. I went in just now to check and didn't see anything that was readily available.

Since there are freeform automation like webhooks, you may be able to string something together though. 

Alternatively, there are other marketplace apps that are built expressly for this purpose that you may find helpful.
