Automation for Confleunce to send an e-mail when a page is created under a folder

[Brian Taylor]

I have a use case regarding a folder when a page is created in a folder to send out an e-mail to specific people that a page has been created.  

Does Confluence automation have this ability?

@Brian Taylor You can use the ancestor CQL field to find all descendants (children, grandchildren, etc.) of a given ancestor.

In your case, you should use something like:

ancestor = 1234

... where 1234 is the ID of the folder.

Maybe you could just run a scheduled job e.g. every hour and that runs this to find the pages created under that folder since the previous run:

ancestor = 1234 and created > now("-1h")

Hi @Brian Taylor

Sending an e-mail to the specific people that a page has been created in a folder. Please follow below steps to configure automation in your confluence space.
1) Open the required you want to add this automation and Click on create rule
2) Choose triggers  when page is published.
3) Next step add an action  send email to the specific people and add those email addresses.
4)  Save the rule and turn it ON.
5) Simply you can use AI also for creating this automation. It will create the complete rule and you just need to replace the  required email addresses in action phase and turn on.
6) you can set up this automation for multiple space by using global automation in the settings.

Sanam - thank you for the suggestion.  I did try something like that before but didn't get any results. 

I tried your suggestion, and when I enable the automation, I am still getting NO ACTIONS PERFORMED in the logs
