How do I create a confluence page using a global template from Jira automation?

[ppushpam]

Hi,

I have created Jira automation rule to create a confluence page. Right now, the page format is basic using Json, I want to create a page using a global template but its throwing 500 error If I am using below line in code:

"template": {"template name"}

Is there any solution for this? could you please help me with that.

Thanks

Hey @ppushpam 

Welcome to Atlassian Community !!

I hope you are creating a automation rule using "send web request" as mentioned in this link 

https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/create-confluence-pages-from-jira-using-automation-1041826324.html

passing "template": {"template name"} in json body wont work.

Looks like there isn't a easy way to achieve this, there might be possibility that this is not there yet, please check this thread for more info.

Hi @ppushpam and @Vishwas

To better support this use case, we've recently introduced a new "Create Confluence page" action to Automation - you can read more about this here: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/use-jira-automation-with-confluence/

Can you document how to register templates, so that they show up in the dropdown

Is there any Information to register a template- yet?
