Issue Summary
When creating a Confluence Automation flow using the "Content scanning alert" trigger, the automation does not execute if a specific Alert type is selected (e.g., "Sensitive data detection: passwords"). However, the same automation triggers correctly when the Alert type filter is left empty (i.e., "All content scanning alerts").
The Guard Detect alert itself fires correctly , the issue is isolated to the automation trigger's Alert type filtering logic.
Steps to Reproduce
- Navigate to Confluence Admin → Automation
- Create a new flow with the trigger: "Content scanning alert for Confluence"
- In the trigger configuration, select a specific Alert type → "Sensitive data detection: passwords"
- Add any action (e.g., send email, restrict page, add comment)
- Enable the flow
- Create/edit a Confluence page with content that contains a password pattern (e.g., password=abc123)
- Wait for Guard Detect to fire the content scanning alert
- Observe the automation audit log
Expected Results
- Guard Detect fires the "Sensitive data detection: passwords" alert ✅
- The Confluence automation flow with the matching Alert type filter should trigger and execute the configured action
Actual Results
- Guard Detect fires the alert correctly ✅
- The automation flow does not trigger ❌
- No errors appear in the automation audit log , the rule is simply skipped
- The same flow triggers correctly if the Alert type filter is set to "All content scanning alerts"
Workaround
Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
