Uploading files to confluence page with automation rules

[Maria Sol Fontenla]

Hello,

I'm configuring an automation rule in jira that creates a Confluence page (with a post request to confluence REST API). This rule is triggered by a switch between two states in a Jira issue. The page is created succesfully, but i haven't been able to add the attachments from the issue that triggered the rule to this confluence page. My question is if there is any way to attach these files with a web request added to this automation rule. 

Thank you!

Hello @Maria Sol Fontenla 

If you don't mind using an add-on, Elements Publish to Confluence lets you do exactly what you are asking.

Full disclosure: I'm the Product Manager of the app.

With our app you can create Confluence pages from Jira issues. It integrates with Automation, but in addition to the native feature you can : 

• insert any Jira issue data in the Confluence page (and keep the value synchronized between the issue and the page if needed)
• use any Confluence template you need or design the page yourself
• copy attachments automatically to the Confluence page

The app is free for 30 days, (and stays free if your instance is under 10 users), so feel free to give it a try, and don't hesitate to tell reach our Support if you have any question.

Kind regards,

Julien

Is this add-on  Elements Publish to Confluence suitable for DC platform. I am unable to find this add-on in DC. 

Can you please confirm me whether this add-on is available in DC or not.

Hello @Gnana Sekhar Reddy 

The feature to publish information from a Jira issue to a Confluence page on DC is included in the DC version of our app Elements Copy & Sync.

You can follow this tutorial on our documentation.

Hello @Maria Sol Fontenla 

Welcome to the community.

There is an API to add an attachment to a Confluence page. See

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/api-group-content---attachments/#api-wiki-rest-api-content-id-child-attachment-post

And there is an experimental API to get an attachment from a Jira issue. See

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v2/api-group-issue-attachments/#api-rest-api-2-attachment-content-id-get

But I'm not sure how you would string those together in an Automation Rule to effectively download the attachment from Jira and then upload it to Confluence.
