Create URL to linked Confluence page in Jira mail

[Jan-Peter Rusch]

Hi,

I want generate a mail from Jira when an issue status changes. The mail should contain a URL link to the first linked Confluence page of the issue. This link is always generated, when the issue is created. I can use Automation for Jira or ScriptRunner.

Is there a way to access this issue property from Automation or ScriptRunner?

Hi @Jan-Peter Rusch,

I think you should be able to do this with ScriptRunner (although I didn't try it).

You can send an email as postfunction or from a custom listener.

And to get that link, you should be able to get the linked pages and then select the right one.

I know this is pretty much theory, but maybe someone else can give you a more detailed example.

Hi,

it turned out that this was easier than expected. This pageID of the Confluence page was already stored in a custom field.

So I used:

<a href="https://THE_CONFLUENCE_SERVER/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId={{issue.customfield_11601}}">LINKTEXT</a>

in a Automation for Jira action creating a HTML email.

Thanks,
