      Problem Definition

      Confluence Automation currently offers the possibility for users to add rules from pre-defined templates to a Smart Button on a page.

      Even if an admin builds a new automation rule, the users currently can't assign those to Smart Buttons.

      Suggested Solution

      Implement the ability to assign custom pre-made automations to the Smart Buttons.

            Not only we need a way to trigger custom automations using the "Smart Buttons", but also the documentation has to be significantly improved - currently it vaguely suggests that it is possible, so it's misleading. It takes an effort to finally find this very issue to realize that "Smart Buttons" cannot trigger custom automations!

            From the docs:

            —

            Managing smart buttons

            Global and space admins can copy, edit, and delete the rules associated with a smart button in the Automation panel.

            Changing or deleting a rule can disconnect it from any smart buttons that run the rule. Deleting a rule will not delete the smart button from the page.

            I'm a little surprised that this needs to be a feature request, and not considered MVP - All of the automations that are pre-defined button actions are esoteric, limited and fairly useless without some customisation. Do you have usage stats on them? I imagine they are very low.

            Even Atlassian support thought that the rules that the buttons create were editable.

            Please fix this.

            This feature would unlock so much potential for our templates, and allow us to make sure certain steps are always performed when releasing new software to clients. Right now, the testers and product owners have to click the page and select the right automation whenever they need to do the things we have automated for them, which is easy to forget and feels like a hassle. So, every werek someone forgets something. A big, visual button is hard to miss, though. Please consider raising the priority of this suggestion! 🙏
