- Option to automatically link fields of a confluence table to information in a jira ticket, similarly to how it's done with SQL. E.G. if a column/ticket of data's summary is "Game Title #1" you can select the matching column/description within it, and return it in the target column/confluence table cell.
- Add default confluence templates to Create Page confluence(Template selection) within the Automation for Jira
- With Jira automations "Create page in Confluence" action, we can currently use smart values in the title only. Please allow the option to pass on smart values to the page template that's been selected.
- A4J doesn't support Confluence Templates with variables set.
Workaround for using Confluence Global Template in Jira automation:
Creating a new space to copy the global templates:
Under your Confluence, you will access some space where your users have access:
- Create a space called Global Templates;
- Click on Space Settings > Templates > Create new template;
- Copy all the items under the template that you want to use to this new template, give a name, and save it;
After this, under your Jira Automation, you can select the Global Templates under space and use the templates that you added to this space.
Creating Confluence page through REST API
Another way to create a confluence page using Jira automation is by using the Confluence REST API and sending a web request through the automation. The following link will explain how to achieve that:

[CONFCLOUD-80014] Improve Create Confluence Page action in A4J - templates, add body editor & ability to pass Jira smart values to Confluence page template, e.g. to support "Create Release Notes in Confluence" use case, ability to link Jira fields to Confluence table
This functionality that I am really missing when working on enterprise workflows. When implementing the workflows to process requests for different intakes, I would love to have the ability to kick off documenting the requests and all relevant information in Confluence pages. I do need to use templates and variables from Jira to make the pages readable for business users as well as IT employees.
+1 to this idea - as we move an Idea in Jira Product Discovery through its lifecycle, I am using Jira Automation to create pages in Confluence that use a Template to document various stages of an Idea's evolution, and it would be really helpful to be able to pass JPD Idea fields as smart values to the Confluence page template.
We also need these features as we liked how it worked in Server. Bring it on soon please!
This would make life so much easier!
