Watch Pages - Confluence Module

How To
1

Hello everyone,

I’m currently working on automating a newsletter that should be triggered when a new page is created within a Confluence page. However, I’m not entirely sure how the “Watch Pages” feature works. Here’s what I’ve done so far:

  • Added the module and connected my Confluence account.
  • Entered the page ID of the page where the new page will be created.
  • Created a test page to trigger the automation.

Unfortunately, nothing happened. Am I setting this up correctly? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Your scenario is not switched on.

Did you create a new page in confluence, before you clicked “Run Once”?

Polling Triggers: Epoch Panel & Selecting Older Data

Go to the Epoch Panel, by right-clicking on the trigger module (polling triggers only), and select “Choose where to start” from the list of options in the context menu.

If you select “From now on”, the next time the scenario runs it will only return new data (or nothing if there is no new data).

You can also select other old data to re-run your scenario with next using the “Choose manually” option. This will then show you a list of previous historical items you can select to process the next time the scenario is triggered.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Hello,
Yes I’ve created the page and then I ran the scenario :

I suggest deleting the “Page IDs” field. You can’t watch something that isn’t created yet.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

I see, the page ID field was added because I needed to locate the page where the new page will be created. If I delete it how can I provide the location of the new page ?
Thanks

Then it should watch all pages.

You can use a filter to only let your selected page name through to the subsequent modules.

Thanks @samliew , that’s exactly what I needed.
For anyone else who might encounter the same issue:

  • I selected the space where my page was going to be created.
  • I added a filter with the condition: Parent_ID equals the “ID of the page where the new page was going to be added.”
