AutoPage

Getting started

AutoPage helps you to automate page creation in Confluence with rules you can define in Jira. You just need to define a page template in Confluence with placeholders for Jira issue content and you are ready to get a fully automated Documentation from the work that is done by your teams in Jira in a structured and consistent look and feel.

AutoPage allows you to automatically create entire page hierarchies in your Confluence space directly from Jira. The details from your Jira activity will automatically appear on the generated Confluence page without any further effort.

AutoPage - Requirements

Section titled “AutoPage - Requirements”

Before you start configuring AutoPage, ensure the following requirements are met.

Section titled “Application Link (Jira and Confluence)”

To use AutoPage, you need to set up an application link between Jira and Confluence. If there are multiple Confluence application links in Jira, AutoPage uses the primary Confluence application link.

  • We recommend that you configure the application link to use “OAuth with impersonation”. In this case, users do not have to be logged into Confluence to generate a page via AutoPage.
  • When using “OAuth authentication”, you must ensure that the user is logged in to Confluence before generating or updating a Confluence page using AutoPage.
Section titled “Verifying the Application Link”

To check if the application link is correctly set up:

  1. Go to “Confluence Page” and select “search for a page”.
  2. If your search for a Confluence page is successful, the application link is set up correctly.

Permissions in Confluence

Section titled “Permissions in Confluence”

AutoPage creates Confluence pages as the Jira user who is currently editing the issue.

  • The user must have access to the space where the Confluence page will be created.
  • They also need permission to create pages.
  • The Confluence template which is used to generate a Confluence page, must be located in a space where the user has read access.
  • You can restrict template editing using page restrictions. The page restrictions must not restrict visibility for the user.
