How to create a table with a list of pages from generated from Confluence Automation

[Bryan Guffey]

I'm trying to figure out how to create a table of inactive Confluence pages on a new Confluence page so I can point my Space Owners to that list to help them clean up their spaces. 

I can see that I can get a list of inactive pages via Confluence automation, and I could even store those pages in a lookup table, but I'm not sure how I would then turn that lookup table into an actual table on a Confluence page.

@Bryan Guffey I'm not sure if a Confluence page, that needs to be constantly updated would be the right solution if you want to remind your content owners to clean up their spaces. I believe there are better options to automate Confluence reminders.

A more often-used alternative is an automated email that goes out periodically to page owners with personalized content to remind them. It only contains those pages they are responsible for and considered "inactive" or you can send emails for any other status.

By the way, this topic was also discussed in this community post in detail.

You can use Better Content Archiving and Analytics for Confluence Cloud to

• define with CQL what is considered inactive (or any other status)
• use a prebuilt email template or customize the wording
• set up your email automation that sends out the reminders on your schedule

This tutorial gives you a better idea of how it works:

Another way is to leverage advanced Confluence analytics dashboards and track your page/user activity there:

Try Confluence Databases. Once you get all pages in as links, you'll be to confiigure your DB with the last update date, who updated the page etc.

Then you can filter the DB by a date and get the result that you want.

Here's my DB - see the Last update, ...by, Created, and Page version columns.

Hi @Bryan Guffey ,

Not a direct answer to your automation question, but we have a free addon which makes a table of outdated Confluence pages: Keep it up to date!

I don't believe it is possible to create such a table directly through Confluence automation.
