Automation Release Notes on Confluence Cloud

[arielei]

Hello All,

We have a DC for Jira and Cloud for Confluence.

i'm searching for a way to create an automatic release notes once a version is published.

preferably without any add-ons.

is it possible?

Hi @arielei 

I think you only option is using API.

Hey @Marc - Devoteam 

I was able to create a page in cloud confluence using web request in the automation.

The problem i'm facing is how to propagate all work-items in the release to one page.

Hi @arielei 

Without seeing the specifics for your rule context...

• Let's assume the rule trigger is Version Released
• With that information, the rule could use the Lookup Issues action with JQL to gather the issues in the version
• Then iterating the work items could be used to build the page content, storing the result with Create Variable to avoid racetrack timing problems in the Send Web Request action
• Finally, use that result in the endpoint call to create the page

Kind regards,
Bill

Hey @Bill Sheboy 

Thanks but that wont work as i can only create a single var and not a lookup table in DC.
i need the full list of work-items with relevant data.

I do not believe you need a lookup table.  Instead, I was suggesting to used the Lookup Issues action: https://confluence.atlassian.com/automation/jira-automation-actions-993924834.html#Jiraautomationactions-lookup-issues

Using the {{lookupIssues}} result, iterate to create the page content, and then store that with a single Create Variable action: https://confluence.atlassian.com/automation/jira-automation-actions-993924834.html#Jiraautomationactions-create-variable

Then use that variable in the endpoint call.

Hi @arielei check out this article from Atlassian. how-to-configure-default-release-notes-in-jira/ 

You should be able to create a template for the Release Notes.  

I saw some other articles out there, and there were also references to some third party addons if you're interested.

Hope that helps.
