tzigone October 9, 2012

Hi,

Is it possible to create more than one page that receives e-mails in confluence other than mail tabs of spaces?

Thanks,

Hi Burcu,

This is exactly what my SendEMailTo Page plugin does. You can send email to Confluence to create new pages, blogs, add comments, add attachments and numerous other features. Each Confluence page automatically has its own email address you send new content to.

You can route email to pages, blogs, comments in a number of different ways through the address, subject or using 'command tags'.

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/biz.artemissoftware.plugins.confluence.send-email-to-page

I'm currently working on several more features such as defining templates.

thanks,

Brendan

Hi Brendan,

is the plugin still in development? This feature https://artemis.atlassian.net/projects/EMPLG/issues/EMPLG-42 would be soooo cool for us. In every project we have a page in confluence for the external communication... comments aren't useful... we need page content for that...

Cheers,

Dirk

Edit: The free add-on Email-to-Confluence for Confluence Server is discontinued, but you can still find its source code on Github: https://github.com/dm-drogeriemarkt/Email-to-Confluence.

I have since together with some friends created a company that developed an add-on to send emails to Confluence Cloud. You can find this here: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1223249/mailto-wiki-send-emails-to-confluence. You can also read more about it in the comment of @Hendrik Winter.

Old information:

We also developed an add-on to solve this task as the existing add-ons on the marketplace weren't an option for us. We published it open-source, it has a few different features than the mentioned add-on above and it is free of charge.

Some features:
 - Creating pages or blog posts
 - Rules to determine the space to post into
 - XSS and Malware Protection
 - Filtering sender addresses
 - Formatting settings

You can find it here: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1217663/email-to-confluence.

Hello Alina,

the add-on Sebastian posted above has been out of the marketplace for years. Currently, there are only options to use mailto.wiki.

However, the source code is still available for the plugin above. You can find it here.

We collect all the important information regarding this topic in a blog post.

Hope this helps you.

Hello all,

since sending emails is a recurring topic and there are already several forum posts and tickets, we took the effort to collect all available information about this in a single blog post. You can find the blog post here.

Short version:
There was very limited build-in support for Confluence Server versions 4.0 or lower.


The mailto.wiki plugin is the way to go if you’re using Confluence Cloud, Server or Data Center. (Disclaimer: I’m one of the developers)

The mailto.wiki plugin offers a broad range of features:

  • You’re able to persist a huge amount of emails, like mailboxes, newsletters, mailing groups, and conversations.

  • You’re able to persist automated reports. For example, if you generate Jira reports weekly, you can persist them in Confluence with our plugin.

  • You have very precise control over which Spaces or Pages emails should be published under.

  • You can send Pages, Posts or Comments via E-Mail.

I hope this helps you.

Cheers

Hendrik

Burcu,

Thanks for clarifying, I'm not sure you can actually achieve that. Maybe someone else can share some light for this here.

In addition, just in case you're not familiar with the mail archiving feature. It allows you to collect and archive mail within each space individually so you can at least organize your emails within spaces.

Hope that helps.

Hi Burcu,

Assuming that I understood you correctly, if you want to receive notifications for more than one page (i.e all pages within a space) you just have to watch an entire space. This way you will receive email notifications for all created/edited pages.

Please let me know if this is not what you're looking for, I'm afraid your descritpion isn't very clear.

Cheers.

Hi Alyson,

Thanks for your reply. My question is not related with notifications.

I want to store e-mails in confluence. The department has one space, under this space there are pages belonging to different projects. I want to store projects' e-mails under their own project leaf.

Cheers,

@tubitak ulakbim ,

 

we actually released a plugin that allows you to send emails to spaces and pages. Maybe this will help you

mailto.wiki - Send Emails to Confluence
