Automate Confiforms with ScriptRunner

[Amir]

As you know, Confiforms doesn't support automation jobs and scheduling, while Adaptavist Scriptrunner plugin support jobs with custom scripts.

I have a form with auto enroll option and I want to submit it daily. The form check a criteria and when it is right, it sends an email.

I try lots of scripts to load enroll url, but I couldn't succeed. The url sample is like this:

"/confiforms/autoenroll.action?pageId=xxxx&f=FormName&_redirectUrl=/"

Could anyone help me to do this? Also please first test it, because I tried lots of scripts and none of them has worked.

Also my instance is restricted and it requires authentication to submit the form.

Is there another way I implement scheduling on Confiforms?

Hi @Amir and welcome to this community

Using autoenroll URL to submit a form in ConfiForms sounds a but unusual.

There are REST APIs you can use - https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/REST+API

which allow you full flexibility at what you do and how

Hi Alex

Thank you for you answer.

How can I schedule Confiforms IFTTT with Rest API?

I want Confiforms check a condition (ex. a date) everyday and if it is true, send an email.

Thanks

Hi @Amir 

I guess the answer is the topic title :-)

(or any other 3rd party scheduler you can use - CRON, etc)

I wrote this code in "Jobs" section of ScriptRunner and chose "Confluence Admin" in "Run as" field, But I got 401 error!

import groovy.json.JsonOutput
import groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder
import groovyx.net.http.Method
import org.apache.http.entity.ContentType

def payload = [
  fields: [
   "mytextfield":"field value" 
  ]
]

def http = new HTTPBuilder("https://<my-confluence-site>")

http.request(Method.POST, ContentType.APPLICATION_JSON) {
   uri.path = '/rest/confiforms/1.0/create/pageId/formName'
   headers.'Content-Type' = 'application/json'
   requestEntity = JsonOutput.toJson(payload)
}

Could anyone help me?

Hi

401 means your request is not authenticated

Yes I know. But there isn't any reason why I get this error. Because I run this script (and create confiforms entry) as Confluence Admin! So maybe the code is wrong and it should be changed...

[Alex Medved _ConfiForms_]

But the http connection you open to confluence does not seems to be authenticated

(but I am not a scriptrunner user, so I might be wrong)

I really appreciate you if you add scheduling jobs to Confiforms IFTTT. Then it would be the most complete workflow app ever.
