Current behavior

• When using native Confluence Approvals, there is no dedicated Confluence Automation trigger that fires when a page approval status changes.
  • The standard "Page status changed" trigger does not detect Confluence Approval lifecycle events.

Suggested behavior

• Introduce a dedicated trigger in Confluence Automation:
  • Trigger name: Page approval status changed
  • Supported status transitions:
    • In review (when an approval workflow starts or transitions to review)
    • Approved (when all required approvals are completed)
    • Changes requested (when an approver requests changes)

Use-cases / Value

• Automatically publish, move, or archive pages once approval status reaches "Approved".
• Send chat or email notifications to page authors when "Changes requested".
• Automatically transition or create linked Jira work items upon approval status changes.

Current Workaround

• There is currently no workaround to trigger automation rules based on Confluence Approval status changes.
