Created ics file is shown in the confluence updates

[Martin]

Hello all,

I have created a form where people book appointments and an ics file is created for it. By creating the ics file, every user who has created an ics file is shown in the confluence updates.

Is there another way to create this file without it showing up in the updates for each person?

Hi

This is a standard Confluence behaviour - attached files are included in Confluence updates.

And when you create an ICS you are also attaching to to the page where the form is configured. And as long as attachments in Confluence cannot be restricted (the access to attachments is restricted by restricting the access to page, and not to individual attachments, you see those in the updates)

Probably you can remove the file after it has been created (I assume it is used to send out some notifications and really not useful afterwards)

Of course this could be automated - I mean, the deletion of a created file. We have the IFTTT that could help you and the id (actually the whole Attachment object) of the created file is the result, so it is accessible through [iftttResult_RESULT.id]

(here I assume that the Create Attachment IFTTT stores it's result in the "RESULT" variable - you can set this in IFTTT yourself to any value you want and then use it to reference and access objects in the "result")
