Confluence automation to jira

[Yves Defossez]

Hi,

I am completely new to this part of Confluence and Jira but as an organization we want to set up a link between confluence and jira.

We have a confluence page where people create "actions". Via automation I can create a Jira ticket based on these actions but we also want to include the confluence page link into the "add web link" field.

Via the automation I can add the link to the description field but not to the "web links" section. I think that a "send web request" action inside the automation rule can solve this problem but don't know how to do this.

So I have the following:

When task is created -> certain condition -> then create new Jira task -> send web request.

The "send web request" action needs to first get the Issue key which was just created by the same automation rule so I use the following:

web request URL: <atlassian url>/rest/api/2/field/{{createdIssue.key}}
Get method
Body: Empty

Then, I need to use this issuekey to edit that issue's web link section.

I hope this is somewhat clear and is possible within Jira.

Hi Yves,

This previous post was not resolved yet, but maybe there is a hint in there for you.
