Mandatory documentation

[Clare Lawson]

I have a template in Confluence for documentation. When a Jira ticket is put into Ready To Close Status, I would like a link to the template to appear so the dev has to create documentation before closing the tickets.  Help!

Hi @Clare Lawson

This can be done with Automation for Jira, however it's not low code and will require knowledge of REST API's. 

In Automation for Jira's current state there is no action to create a page within Confluence, so we need to do this via REST API. 

Below are the two endpoints you'll need to hit.

1) Create the confluence pagehttps://yourinstance.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content

2) Save some variables from the payload

3) Hit this endpoint plugging in those variables to create a link to the Confluence page fromt he Jira Issue. https://yourinstance.atlassian.net/rest/confluenceIssueLink/1/confluence?issueId={{issue.id}}&pageUrl=https://yourinstance.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/IN/pages/{{webResponse.body.id}}/{{spacename}}
