Generate an automatic comment on a jira issues when a linked confluence page is updated

[Evanthia Charalampidou]

Hello everybody!

I always link relevant confluence pages to the jira issues so that I can make my work more traceable. I do that through the jira ticket as soon as I've created the relevant confluence page. 

Is it possible to automatically generate a comment on a Jira issue when a linked confluence page is updated?

I was wondering if that'd be possible through the jira automation feature or through some other way.

Looking forward to your help. Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi,

At this time, Automation for Jira doesn't support triggers from confluence events, so it is not possible using Automation for Jira alone.

One possibility would be to ask the Script Runner for Confluence community. If you had a script triggered from confluence, you could send a web request to an Automation for Jira 'Incoming Webhook' trigger, which is a trigger for your rules which listens for web requests on a generated url. In the web request payload you send from your Confluence script to this webhook endpoint, if you include the issue ID, you could then extract that ID from the payload and add a comment to the issue in your rule.
